PIPS (Performance Indicators in Primary schools)
All pupils are assessed using this system. PIPS tracks a number of aspects of schooling as pupils move through the primary sector. The data is assessed by the Curriculum, Evaluation and Management centre at the University of Durham and the results passed back to the school. The results allow schools to look objectively at the progress and attitude of individual pupils. PIPS feedback also enables teachers to judge their schools performance within the context of others using the assessments at the same time, whilst protecting the confidentiality of each school.
Pupils are assessed as follows:
- Transition: Aspects – continuous assessment during the year
- Reception: Pupils are assessed on entry in September and again just before they leave the Reception year.
- Year 1: Pupils are assessed in June.
- Year 2: Pupils are assessed in January.
