APP System of Assessment

Assessing Pupils’ Progress (APP) is a structured methodology to student assessment which:

• enables teachers to make judgements about their pupils’ learning goals
• enhances teachers’ understanding of progression in their subject
• provides information about the strengths and weaknesses of individual pupils
• track student progress periodically
• helps with lesson planning as it creates an overall picture for differentiation
• facilitates the setting of meaningful curricular targets that can be shared with pupils and parents
• promotes teaching that matches pupils needs
• supports the transfer of meaningful information during academic transitional periods
