We’re not very good at being idle here at Assessment360, and despite a worldwide pandemic and all the challenges that brings, we have spent the past few years doing what we do best – assessing.
However, this time we’ve been assessing the systems we offer to schools, and how they fit in with the way education practices are currently evolving. Having worked with schools across the United Kingdom on different projects over the years, we understand that the pupil is very much at the centre of their learning, and assessment is more than just looking at academic achievement.
This has resulted in the development of the ‘360 suite of assessment systems’ that are specifically tailored to each country in the United Kingdom. We thought that this fundamental change in our systems and approach should be reflected in the company name too, so we are now called Assessment360.
It is an exciting, yet daunting time for schools across Wales as they transition towards the new Curriculum for Wales which becomes statutory for primary schools from September 2022.
For the past 16 years, Incerts has been used by the large majority of Welsh Primary Schools to assess and track progress of their pupils. Nevertheless, the new curriculum calls for a new approach to assessment, tracking and planning and we realised that Incerts would no longer support schools in the way it had previously. Therefore, we have developed Taith360 specifically with the new curriculum and its requirements in mind. Please see the Curriculum2022 section of our website for further information on this.
We felt that the best way to help schools prepare for the new curriculum was to make Taith360 available to all schools during this transitionary period. This way, schools could start getting used to the system whilst also becoming more familiar with the curriculum. Any schools currently using Incerts for assessment, analysis and reports would be able to continue doing so at the same time as exploring Taith360 too:
We also have the same skilled support team who are available to help so if there is ever anything you need, please do not hesitate to contact us.Sally Bliwert
