The Future of Assessment in England

This conference will consider the assessment landscape in the context of the pandemic, including lessons learnt and priorities for future provision.

Areas for discussion include:

• the assessment system moving forward – including formative, summative, and high-stake assessment, the potential responsibilities of teachers, and alignment in the assessment system
• ensuring fairness and transparency in the system – including addressing the attainment gap and making sure provisions are made for those with additional needs
• the future use of technology and its potential impact on inclusivity
