Reporting and Assessment

Reporting to parents

Parents and carers receive a progress report during the year. This gives information on how well a child is performing in every subject they are studying. This allows parents and carers to track and monitor their child’s progress. A full school report is written annually for each child, detailing their strengths and areas for improvement.

 

Feedback

We believe that it is important that students receive feedback as it can help make students aware of their progress and how they can improve.  The process of providing feedback is important for teachers as it gives them the information they need to track the progress that students are making and informs their planning.

We aim to ensure that students receive high quality feedback throughout their time at Lampton. This feedback will acknowledge and celebrate achievement, progress and effort. It will also signal areas for development and provide strategies on how to improve. It is important that students read or listen to all the feedback that they are given and use it to improve their work and practice.

Students should, on average, receive detailed feedback on one piece of work every half term. Teachers will not give detailed feedback on every piece of work that a student completes.

 

Formal assessment

Students in all year groups are formally assessed in all subjects at roughly six-month intervals as they progress through the school. These assessments help teachers to check how securely students have learnt the curriculum and to identify strengths and areas for development. Assessment information is shared with parents through Pupil Progress Checks and an annual full report.

At Key Stage 3, assessments are designed to support good learning habits and effective revision. More information about KS3 assessments and how students should prepare can be found here. In addition to these formal assessment points, subjects also use regular in-class assessments to check understanding and inform teaching on an ongoing basis.
