Pupils are assessed in a variety of ways, eg. formal tests, observation and activity tasks on an on-going basis to enable effective evaluation and planning for learning and teaching. Children also self and peer evaluate their learning against set criteria and are involved in setting their next steps for improvement. All assessment takes place within the normal classroom situation, thus allowing pupils to perform to the best of their ability.

Another part of the assessment framework is the use of standardised tests. Across Highland every pupil in Primary 1, 4 and 7 complete these tests. The results are used to indicate strengths and development needs and help with planning appropriate learning steps for all of our pupils.

From time to time staff may also carry out assessments with individual children in order to identify the most suitable learning and teaching approaches for that particular child. Parents are kept fully informed of any involvement with Learning Support staff.
