Rank Order Assessments (ROAs) form an important part of our approach to assessing and monitoring student progress. They provide a clear snapshot of students' performance within their year group and help us identify strengths, areas for development, and where additional support or challenge may be beneficial.
Students complete a series of assessments throughout the academic year under examination conditions. These assessments are marked and used to determine rank order positions within each year group. The information gained helps students, parents/carers and staff to understand current attainment and progress over time.
Assessment outcomes are shared with students and parents/carers through termly progress reports and may be discussed further at parents' evenings. Where appropriate, additional conversations may be arranged to ensure students receive the support they need to achieve their potential.
Rank order is one of several measures used by the school to monitor achievement and inform teaching, intervention and enrichment opportunities. We encourage all students to prepare thoroughly for assessments, engage positively with feedback and use assessment information to support their continued progress.
