Pupil investigations inform summative judgements

All pupils within the school take part in at least one full  investigation or enquiry each half term, based on a Science (KS2 pupils) or Knowledge and Understanding of the World (Foundation Phase pupils) topic. Teachers mark and  level pupils’ work using the Welsh National Curriculum (NC) Level descriptors or Foundation Phase (FPh) Outcomes and add next steps to move pupils’ learning forward. Each class teacher brings examples of children’s work to a whole school staff meeting, where teachers work in pairs to moderate and agree the levels awarded.
