Assessment & Learner Portfolio
Clarity
Integrity
Craftsmanship
Mastery
EVIDENCE OF LEARNING OVER TIME
Starting point. Practice. Feedback. Revision. Application. Reflection.
Clarwyn uses formal assessment, teacher judgement, classwork and the Learner Portfolio together. The portfolio is a curated record of what a learner understood, attempted, improved, applied and can explain next—not a scrapbook or unlimited upload stream.
QUICK PROOF POINTS
- Formal and formative assessment
- Curated portfolio evidence
- Twice-yearly learner conferences
- Feedback and re-attempt
- Academic integrity and privacy

WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE
Four clear commitments
The evidence chain
Starting point → learning goal or question → practice and drafts → feedback → revision → application → reflection and next step.
Stage progression
Foundation evidence is teacher-curated and child-voiced; older learners increasingly select, annotate, manage sources and explain measurable goals.
Student-led or student-involved conferences
Twice each year, learners use age-appropriate evidence to explain progress, difficulty, feedback response, application and the next priority.
What it is not
Not a marks folder, complete archive, activity album, ranking tool or gallery containing only polished final products.
THE COMPLETE EXPLANATION
How the system works
Formal assessment
Tests, tasks, performance evidence and teacher judgement establish attainment, misconceptions and next teaching needs.
Portfolio evidence
Selected work makes growth and process visible without replacing formal reporting.
Public proof
Only consented, context-rich and accurately labelled evidence may move to exhibitions, the website or social media.
FOR YOUR CHILD AND FAMILY
What should become visible
Concrete evidence rather than generic praise
A visible response to feedback
A learner who can explain growth and next steps
Parents who understand progress beyond a single score
