Assessment and Progression
Secondary assessment at Groveside School is seen as a vital component in support of high-quality teaching and learning. It must meet a broad range of needs covering Key Stage 3 and 4. At Groveside, assessment strategies also need to cover a broad spectrum from foundation level through to GCSE’s . We assess pupils’ knowledge and skills using a programme called SOLAR to track pupil progress, set targets, generate reports.
SOLAR allows us to record all our assessment in one place and has the flexibility for us to shape our assessment system to align more closely with our teaching. It also enables us to include our target setting and undertake data analysis.
