Assessment isn’t just about levels—it’s about understanding where each child is on their learning journey. 🌟 Using tools aligned with the Ready to Progress criteria ensures no gaps are missed in primary maths.

#PrimaryMaths
There is also the huge grey area around assessment. In primary schools, the teacher decides what level the child is. Saying "these children can't read" is effectively saying "I can't teach". So children may "pass" without being able to read or do basic maths.
