A Guide to Making Periodic Assessments Judgements

This Periodic Assessment Guidance document supports schools with their in-school summative assessments.

 

This guidance reflects the DFE Assessment Principles (2014) which were designed to help all schools as they implement arrangements for assessing pupils’ progress against their school curriculum as the Government will not impose a single system for assessment.
