Assessment & Reporting

Assessment is pivotal to both teaching and to learning and helps support pupils to make progress in their academic work. Formative assessment is the assessment used by teachers on an ongoing basis and helps inform each teacher’s lesson planning to support the learning process. Summative assessment usually takes place on the completion of a topic, module or at the end of the year.

At The Crypt School staff are effective at using both formative and summative assessment to inform their planning and implementation of lessons.

Throughout each year all students receive Pupil Progress Grades or Test/Examination results which are communicated directly to parents via MCAS (My Child At School). Dates of when progress information will be provided to parents will be communicated by the Deputy Head (Academic) at the start of each academic year.

Each pupil’s progress is monitored and where necessary additional support is provided, both inside and outside the classroom. This support can take a variety of forms and might include academic and/or pastoral support. This ensures that all our pupils make outstanding progress, so they are prepared for the next stage in their lives.
