1. STANDARDISED TESTS

2. WHY?
Enable teachers to identify specific strengths and weaknesses or consolidate opinion from other evidence
Facilitate future planning
Ensure pupils are in correct ability bands
Evidence used as part of basis for intervention if necessary eg extra support required
Useful if a class has to be split (6 teachers for 7 year groups)
Standardised tests widely recognised as a good assessment tool
