Rationale - Purpose of Assessment
The primary importance of assessment is to improve student learning, therefore all data collected will be analysed to inform teacher practise and improve student outcomes. Assessment will be used to establish the point the student is at in the learning process and will be the initial step at which future programmes are planned for. Students will be informed and involved as they assist with future learning directions. Assessments will include formative and summative, and a triangulation of the data will be conducted at regular intervals. Teachers will use this triangulation of data and overall teacher judgement to report on student achievement.

Peer and self evaluation are key components that link the learning with planning. Teachers will use evaluation to organise activities, programmes and to check the effectiveness of their programmes. Effective evaluation leads to an improvement in learning and teaching while maintaining a co-constructed learning environment. Teachers will be efficient in keeping regular records that show progress, and are relevant to learning. Students will have ownership of their learning and know what to do to achieve to their potential.
