Assessment
•Assessment occurs throughout the year.
•Children no longer sit SATS in Year 6 so continuous
assessment is vital throughout Y5 and 6. The
standard of work in pupil books is of central
importance.
•Standardised assessment tests are completed –
NFER Language and Mathematics.
•Children will sit ALFIE assessment which is a web
based maths assessment in October and then will be
revisited in May.
All Assessments should be completed in May.
Target Cards, WALT & WILF
•Children will have personal targets set in English and
Mathematics.
•Once the target has been achieved a certificate will be
sent home to inform you that the target has been
covered.
•WALT – We Are Learning To
Each piece of work starts with a WALT to focus pupils.
•WILF questions conclude a task – What I’m Looking For.
Questions focus pupils on reflecting on key aspects of
their work. Pupils evaluate their work.
Confidence lines are used as another tool to encourage
reflection – ultimately pupils set targets.
