Assessment in Abacus
We believe good assessment is integrated into teaching and learning and is constantly
used to diagnose future learning needs. Assessment sits at the heart of the Abacus
teaching and learning cycle because we know it is integral to ongoing teaching and
children’s progress.
Remember, because
Abacus is a service
it will continue to
evolve in line with
the curriculum and
your feedback!
