Curriculum and Assessment Policy 2023

Marking and Moderation: The teachers provide short, medium and long-term teaching and learning plans. These are scrutinised to ensure balanced coverage of the curriculum offer for each individual child. They ensure that teachers’ planning reflects the children’s EHCP outcomes and Learning Intentions and supports progress against the frameworks. This ensures not only the best provision for our children but also that we provide the best quality teaching and learning that we can. Our mar king guidance is based on a child’s level of participation and support needed to complete their learning tasks. Teachers and TAs also provide verbal feedback, and written feedback where it is appropriate, for the child or class team to help progress the child.
