The Assessment Cycle

Target Tracker is used as a formative assessment tool in the majority of curriculum subjects. Teacher’s regularly update the grids with assessment information gathered from lessons. At the end of each seasonal term, teachers use their ongoing assessment information, as well as any specific assessments to make a summative assessment on Target Tracker.

The assessments are analysed and used to inform part of the discussions held in termly Pupil Progress Meetings, led by Senior Leaders. Governors also attend as part of their monitoring.

In these meetings, the information’s is discussed in detail and teacher’s talk about the progress their class is making. Senior Leaders and Teacher’s problem-solve together any areas causing concern and celebrate reasons behind good progress and outcomes. Disadvantaged pupils, pupils with SEN/D and gender differences are discussed in detail. From this meeting, actions for the next term are discussed.

The assessment information is shared and discussed with Governors in ‘Quality of Education’ Committee meetings.
