Our school has an Assessment Policy which is in keeping with the principles laid down in the National Minimum Curriculum which emphasize the importance of FORMATIVE assessment rather than exclusively focusing on SUMMATIVE assessment (which may be loosely said to consist of tests and examinations and offer only the feedback of a mark).
