Assessment and achievement

Assessment as part of learning and teaching shows how practitioners can assess and support learning as part of their day-to-day activities from 3 to 18.

Recognising achievement shows how practitioners can capture and recognise young people's knowledge, skills and attributes, across learning and in a wide range of contexts and settings, at all stages 3-18.
