Give reliable information to parents about how their child, and their child’s school, is performing a. Allow meaningful tracking of pupils towards end of key stage expectations in the new curriculum, including regular feedback to parents. b. Provide information which is transferable and easily understood and covers both qualitative and quantitative assessment. c. Differentiate attainment between pupils of different abilities, giving early recognition of pupils who are falling behind and those who are excelling. d. Are reliable and free from bias.
