Stages of Development: assessment
At Christ the Sower we assess progress of children using the Stages of Development documents.
There are Stages of Development documents for each of the main subjects of Reading, Writing and Maths. We also have similar documents for Science, PE and Religious Education.
Foundation Subjects (Art, Music, Geography, History, Design Technology, Computing and Modern Foreign Langauges) are assessed in a less formal manner, to enable children's annual progress to be accurately measured and reported on to parents.
The Stages of Development documents for English and Maths can be found at the following links:
