Effective use of assessment to support progression in literacy and numeracy
The use of assessment to support learning, especially in the development of pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills is highly effective. Teachers use assessment information from pupils’ prior learning to provide personalised next steps. They make continuous and effective adaptations to their teaching, for example by changing the organisation of groupings. They differentiate lessons skilfully to support pupils of all abilities to make consistently good progress in the development and application of key literacy and numeracy skills.
