Assessment takes many different forms at West Wittering Parochial CE Primary school from mini-quizzes in the classroom to identify that learning has taken place, to teacher judgements on how well children are achieving, through to end of term tests and national attainment tests. Assessments are part of school life here at West Wittering and are not something that the children are worried about, as we treat them all as opportunities to 'Show Off' what we can do and to help the teacher to learn what next to teach. The headteacher meets with each teacher termly to track and challenge the progress that each child is making, to ensure that every child is getting suitable provisions and are being given the best chance to succeed. 

​

What assessment does the school do?

Currently we do a mixture of internal and external assessments and these are:

• Ongoing everyday 'Assessment for Learning', looking at how well our children are achieving and progressing in everyday learning 

• Termly summative assessments at the end of each term to identify progress (reading, writing and maths) from children in Year 2 upwards 

• End of year 'Teacher Assessment' for all year groups including EYFS

• Ongoing teacher assessment (this is not a test, rather a judgement made by the teacher and is ongoing)

•  Year 1 Phonics test, KS1 SAT tests, Yr 3&4 Times Tables Check and KS2 SAT tests
