Hillyfield Primary Academy

We assess pupil progress and attainment by following the National Curriculum in respect of age related expectations and end of year outcomes.
To achieve this we monitor and assess pupil progress through our own internal assessment and moderation processes as well as statutory assessments at the end of Key Stage 1 and 2.

• Monitor and assess our pupils progress through school to school moderation with a number of primary schools from the locality.
• We use the outcomes of the assessments to summarise and analyse attainment and progress for our pupils and classes.
• Assessment data is used to plan the learning for every pupil in order to ensure they meet or exceed expectations.
• Teachers and leaders analyse the data across the school to ensure that pupils identified as vulnerable, more able or at particular risk are making appropriate progress and that all pupils are suitably challenged.
• The information from assessment is communicated to parents and pupils during parents evenings and via the pupils end of year report.
• Teachers base their teacher assessment judgements on a broad range of evidence from across the curriculum for each pupil.
• Hillyfield buys into the borough moderation service.
