NFER Tests review

Reviewer: Headteacher in Essex, teaching Y3 to Y6
How well does this resource address your school’s assessments needs?
What are the best features of NFER Tests?
Provides consistent standardised data which facilitates national benchmarking and similar school comparisons.
What additional features would you ideally like to see in future assessment resources?
The focused use of teacher time is currently our most important resource. Excessive work load centred on assessment processes and recording is detrimental not only to pupils' learning but also teachers' passion for their work & well-being. Assessment does not often impact on progress and attainment. It simply provides a snapshot of the pupils' attainment. There is no meaningful consequence to the process. Features MUST address this. Assessment must impact on progress and attainment and be user-friendly/intuitive for pupils of all abilities and be easy to operate for teachers.
