Assessment 

Assessment at Ryedale School is used to:

  • Identify gaps in knowledge and understanding

  • Inform teaching and curriculum planning

  • Support students in understanding how to improve

  • Track progress over time and ensure all students are on course to meet or exceed their targets

We use a combination of formative (ongoing) and summative (end-of-unit or term) assessments, alongside regular feedback, to help students take ownership of their learning and make sustained progress.
