St Anselm's Catholic Primary School Inspire to Aspire
Assessment & Feedback
At St Anselm's, assessment in Design and Technology takes place in a variety of forms.
Formative Assessment
In line with the school’s feedback policy, teachers use formative assessment throughout lessons and units to inform teaching and allow them to make adaptations to planning as needed. This is recorded on a whole class feedback sheet.
Assessing Skills
Each unit has identified areas for assessment which link to the skills progression document. As the unit progresses, teachers identify children working below, at, and above the expected standard. Any additional notes are made at the end of a unit which may be used to inform learning in the next unit.
Knowing more, remembering more
Knowledge linked to each unit of learning has been identified in question-and-answer format. Children are supported to ‘know more and remember more’ at the start of each lesson through a range of spaced retrieval activities.
End of unit quizzes
At some point after units have been complete, children take part in a 'Quizziz' activity which assesses their long-term knowledge.
