Assessment

Assessment at Stratford upon Avon School is designed to provide a rigorous means of monitoring student progress and whether students are on track to meet or exceed targets and to further check the security, breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding of students in the classroom and throughout the year.

How do we formally assess?

Alongside the day to formative assessment of progress encountered in the classroom and student work – we also have a rigorous structure of formal assessment throughout the School Year:

Students’ working at grade is recorded at key points throughout the year and reported to parents via www.MyChildAtSchool.com
