Leigham Primary School and Nursery

All teachers at Leigham Primary School and Nursery have a duty to continually monitor and assess the children they are teaching.

An assessment can be in the form of an observation, a summative assessment or a formative assessment. A summative assessment demonstrates the extent of a learner's success in meeting a learning outcome and is normally given a score.

A formative assessment does not contribute to a final mark in a learning outcome, instead it contributes to learning through providing feedback. It indicates what is good about a piece of work and why this is good; as well as how the work could be improved.

These assessments are continuously used to inform and review whole class planning and teaching.

Progress will also be monitored by the Assessment Coordinator through tracking of data on School Pupil Tracker and Pupil Progress Meetings.

A pupil is perceived as 'falling behind' if they are not making adequate progress as suggested in the revised SEN Code of Practice.

Plymouth uses an orange 'Local Offer icon' to show services that define themselves as suitable for children and young people with SEND. These are part of Plymouth's SEND Local Offer. We recommend that you contact the service provider to make sure the service is suitable for your child or young person.
