Assessing progress and achievement

About assessing progress and achievement

Assessing the breadth, challenge and application of learning and measuring progress in terms of 'how much' and 'how well'.

When we assess

Assessment takes place as part of ongoing learning and teaching, periodically and at transitions.

Assessment in the senior phase

Assessment in the senior phase will focus on planned learning across aspects of the curriculum and a substantial part of assessment will contribute to young people gaining formal qualifications and awards.

How we assess

Teachers need a range of approaches to assess the different types of achievement across the curriculum.

• Assessment as part of learning and teaching
• Sources of evidence
