1. Assessment (SOLAR)

2. School Development Plan
Key Objectives:
Further develop curricula and assessment that meets the needs of our 4 Pathways
Develop systems for supporting pupils with self-assessment and identification of next steps learning
Ensure high quality of assessment and data analysis

3. Ofsted Requirements
Judged on the quality of teaching, learning and assessment
Teachers use assessment for establishing pupils’ starting points and to modify teaching so that pupils achieve their potential by the end of a year or key stage
Assessment draws on a range of evidence of what pupils know, understand and can do across the curriculum
Teachers make consistent judgements about pupils’ progress and attainment

4. Secure, online assessment tool
Used to record and share pupils’ progress in academic subjects (Literacy, Numeracy, Science and Computing), non-academic areas (social and independence skills), Early Years Foundation Stage and swimming.
Used for target-setting and to track pupils’ progress towards these targets
Photos, videos and written evaluations of learning can be uploaded onto SOLAR
Show an example- Lime (Communication and Number)

5. Progress to date All teachers, TAs and therapists have access to SOLAR
Assessment Frameworks available and amended, where necessary
All pupils baselined to establish starting points
Key Stage, annual and termly targets set and moderated by Heads of Pathways

6. Continued… Parental access and input towards pupils’ assessment
Whole-school review of SOLAR – ongoing cycle of monitoring, reflection and action
Clear, informative evaluations of pupils’ progress collated
Ongoing monitoring of the quantity and quality of evidence within Pathways

7. Future Actions Personalised Plans shared and evaluated on SOLAR
Subject Leaders / teachers to collate ‘gaps’ in assessment frameworks, so that frameworks can be adapted to meet the needs of pupils and Pathways
Internal and external moderation
Pupil self-assessment systems reviewed
