Assessment

The strength of any school lies in the ability to assess and react to all events. Nowhere is this more true than in the assessment of children's reading, writing and mathematics after the disruption of 2020 and 2021 to all our lives.

 

Whilst we could write for hours about how we assess children in school, we have produced FAQs and a 2 minute video for parents to give you all of the key information you will need. We hope this will helpful and further develops the partnership you have with school.

FAQs

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
