Assessment
At Villiers, we believe that assessment serves curriculum. It is crucial in identifying how effectively students are learning in their classes but will never dominate the daily lives and learning of staff and students.

Formative Assessment This is the daily process that occurs in Villiers classrooms to diagnose the progress of students and shape classroom learning. |

Examples of formative assessment include:

Summative Assessment These are planned tasks that assess student progress at an agreed point. Subject areas will have individual summative assessment timelines. The information below if for whole school summative assessment points. |
