Learning & Assesment

 

 

At FRAM School, learning is a journey shaped by curiosity, guidance, exploration, and meaningful relationships. We believe that children thrive when teaching, assessment, and wellbeing work together to support their individual pace and style of learning. Our goal is to ensure that every child makes visible progress — not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and creatively.

 

 

Our Teaching Approach is to :

  • - create safe, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate environments;
  • - plan and deliver engaging, age-appropriate activities that support cognitive and emotional growth;
  • - observe each child’s progress daily and adapt instruction to individual needs;
  • - encourage independence, self-help skills, and responsibility;
  • - collaborate across pillars to ensure learning aligns with wellbeing, events, and social development.

 

 

 

 

Our classrooms are designed to :

  • - have structured routines that help children feel secure;
  • - contain child-appropriate furniture and materials;
  • - contain spaces for creativity to promote calm focus, exploration, and teamwork;
  • - have predictable, caring interactions between teachers and students.

Assessment at FRAM

Our Approach to Assessment

We use assessment as a tool for growth, guidance, and understanding, not pressure. Through a balanced assessment system, teachers gain insight into how each child learns and how best to support their development.

Types of Assessment

We combine different forms of assessment to understand each learner:

Formative Assessment

Day-to-day observations, feedback, and class activities help teachers track progress and adjust learning experiences in real time.

Diagnostic & Standardised Assessment

At key stages, students complete assessments such as CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test) to understand their strengths, potential, and learning preferences.

Summative Assessment

More formal checks, portfolios, or worksamples help monitor long-term learning outcomes and readiness for next stages.

 

Personalised Support

To ensure that every child makes appropriate progress, FRAM provides:

  • ESL support for learners developing English skills

  • 1:1 or small group intervention where needed

  • Individual Intervention Plans (IIPs) for personalised goals

  • ongoing communication with parents about progress and next steps

Our aim is to meet each child where they are — and help them move confidently forward.
