This document is intended to help schools make progress with the whole-school development of Assessment for Learning (AfL) by providing examples of approaches and strategies different schools have used.

They are not a recipe for success but provide ideas, for example, for discussion at a senior leadership team (SLT) meeting and to inform action planning.

School leaders will wish to consider:

• which are appropriate for their school
• which would involve further development or refinement of existing practice
• which would involve introducing new approaches and ways of working.

The examples of approaches and strategies used by schools relate to six focuses:

1. School structures, systems and processes
2. Developing a shared understanding of AfL
3. Monitoring and evaluating impact
4. Tracking individual pupil progress and curricular target-setting
5. Collaborative working within a learning community
6. Partnership with parents and carers
