Assessment at Evergreen Academy
The assessment process at Evergreen Academy is designed to identify and address each pupil’s unique needs, enabling the implementation of effective teaching and learning strategies. It considers not only students’ cognitive processes, perceptions, and reasoning but also the social, organisational, and environmental factors influencing their learning and development.
Assessment at Evergreen follows a continuous cycle of assessment, planning, implementation, and impact review, as outlined in Figure 1 and guided by our Principles of Assessment.
