At Oxbridge Lane Primary School, we believe that assessment should place the child at the centre of their learning and that it should raise achievement for all. We focus on the progress of each individual child. Assessment is not a singular activity; it is both about the measurement of performance at a given point in time and an ongoing process of gaining information to promote future learning. We believe that this process should be thorough, manageable and relevant. Accurate assessment recognises the skills, achievement and ability of all children and enables teachers to provide a personalised curriculum that drives learning, and ensures progress for all our pupils in order for them to master the curriculum.

At Oxbridge Lane we have devised an assessment system that closely tracks children’s understanding of key objectives in reading, writing and maths.
