Assessment - At Handsworth, pupils record at least 3 pieces of work in their books which will show progressions through a unit. Formative assessments will take place through Teacher observations and professional judgments based on class discussions, class activities and tasks set. This will be evident as children will:

 

• make links in learning from previous year groups and show progression.

• be given a safe space to reflect on questions of meaning, offering their own thoughtful and informed insights into religious and secular worldviews.

• have a stronger awareness of the world around them and will be mindful of the beliefs of others. 

• will feel they are valued as individuals and that their beliefs are valued and celebrated. 

• will be able to participate in lessons even if their beliefs differ and will be given opportunities to share their similarities and/or differences.

•  be given opportunities to promote creativity, achievement, confidence and inquisitive minds. 

•  leave the school with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community where they have the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections and become lifelong learners.

• to make links between their own lives and those of others in their community and in the wider world.

• develop an understanding of other people’s cultures and ways of life.

• extend their knowledge and understanding of religions and beliefs.

• develop a religious vocabulary and interpret religious symbolism in a variety of forms.
