Effective practice in assessment, target setting and pupil tracking are integral to good teaching and effective management. National Strategies guidance supports the aims of The Assessment for Learning Strategy and the three linked aspects of assessment: Day-to-day assessment (evidence of learning which shapes immediate next steps); Periodic assessment (evidence of pupils’ achievement across a whole subject which informs and shapes future planning for progression); Transitional assessment (judgements and insights at transitional points that can be shared between pupils, parents and teachers).
