Assessment, monitoring and progress

At Lindon Bennett School assessment and moderation are an integral part of our teaching and learning process, promoting an ongoing reflective review of our Curriculum and its impact.

We ensure progress is captured effectively over time and future planning is supported and informed by appropriate assessment, providing a suitably differentiated Teaching and Learning experience for all pupils.

All teachers assess pupil’s individual progress towards meeting their agreed Personalised Learning Outcomes (PLOs) and Annual Targets using a number of assessments and reporting tools, these include:

– Daily observation and identified next steps
– Lindon Bennett Levels KS2 (Solar)
– Lindon Bennett Early Years Steps Birth to 5 EYFS and KS1 (Solar)
– Routes for Learning (Welsh Assembly)
– Pupil Progress Meetings

– Lindon Bennett Communication Assessment

End of key stage assessment

– Engagement Scales

– Pre-key stage standards

Performance data for pupils within Nursery, Reception, year 1 and year 2 is based on the Birth to 5 framework.  Performance data for pupils in Year 3 to Year 6 is based on assessment linked to Lindon Bennett Levels.

Pupil progress meetings take place termly to ensure teacher judgement is challenged. Our judgements are moderated internally and externally both with schools in borough and across borough.
