 This is the first of a series of case studies to show how SIMS Assessment Manager is being successfully used in Hertfordshire schools. It outlines the history of the use of the software in general terms and then looks in detail at how the programme is used throughout the school. For each of the Key Stages, the school’s assessment procedures are outlined, together with tracking and relative performance and reporting to parents. Details of how Assessment Manager is used at each Key Stage are included, together with examples of marksheets and reports. |
