Support for day-to-day assessment in the Primary Framework

This section provides you with links back into the Primary Framework's guidance on:

  • targeting and tailoring learning to meet different needs
  • planning and teaching sequences
  • day-to-day assessment
  • recording and tracking of progress.

These are the points where formative and more periodic assessments inform how you plan learning for children with different learning and progression needs and inform your best use of assessment for learning.

It will take you to areas of the Primary Framework that will help you address how to:

  • establish age-related expectations
  • ensure that you are building on prior learning
  • maintain these expectations and progression
  • judge the quality of and progress evident in children's learning outcomes
  • intervene effectively using guided sessions to address specific needs
  • track and monitor progress.

Tracking and monitoring progress

The tracking tutorial supports schools in engaging colleagues across the whole school in a professional dialogue about children's progress, groupings, expectations and appropriate use of interventions. The associated tracking grid will help schools to identify children who are at risk of underachievement against national standards.
