Assessment
Our approach to assessment has been nationally recognised.
This means that our ways of assessing pupils are helpful to teachers and meaningful to parents and pupils. We work with a range of nationally and internationally renowned colleagues and are embedding high quality and meaningful assessment that helps all within the trust and is ever mindful of the workload on our staff.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
The Trust has built its school improvement model on education research, and in the first instance focuses on curriculum development
We have developed effective and efficient ways of helping to know whether our pupils are learning the intended curriculum.
As a result of our excellent links with other schools across the country we are able to see how well our pupils are achieving in comparison to other pupils. This gives us a really accurate idea of how they may achieve by the time they leave one of our schools. This is helping us help all of our pupils reach their true potential.
