Summative judgements can be more valid if based on a range of information.  Edwardsville Primary use a range of types of activity to provide information which can be used formatively or summatively.  For example, during the latter half of a Year 3 topic on healthy eating the pupils: investigated egg shells, predicting and collecting results about which liquid would stain teeth; made models of teeth and ‘chatterboxes’ to name teeth and their functions; and designed posters to promote healthy eating and dental care. The teacher used information from these tasks and her own observational notes to support her summative judgements.
