Due to the school being a short term provision, and the fact many of our pupils have not been able to access large parts of the National Curriculum, end of Key Stage 2 assessments may not be administered annually.
Symphony Assessment System
Each class uses the Symphony system to track reading, writing and maths for each child. The objectives are highlighted once completed. A different colour is used for each term to show when the objectives are completed.
Attainment and expected progress
As we follow the Symphony system of assessment and tracking we are able to show small steps of progress for our pupils. The vast majority of our pupils enter Park Aspire well below age related academic expectations and have a variety of barriers to learning, this can mean that negative attitudes can be developed towards school and class based work.
Reporting
At the end of each half term all class teachers record their class data on our progress report. This is built upon over the course of the year and makes up our end of year report.
Tracking
Once we have all data at the end of each half term it is placed onto our visual tracker which shows progress over the year and since starting at Park Aspire.
SEMH assessment tool
This form of assessment is used to show trends in behaviours and strengths and weaknesses in pupil personalities. This helps our play therapist and behaviour and pastoral teams, along with class teachers, to identify areas that may need targeting/ addressing with individual pupils.
