Introduction to CENTURY Primary Academic Assessments

We are proud to now offer baseline and end-of-year assessments on CENTURY, in a new area of the platform, accessible via your usual CENTURY logins. Currently in primary we offer year baselines in SPaG, mathematics and science.

Academic Assessments

CENTURY’s Year Group Primary assessments measure learners against the expected standards for each specific year group. Designed to be sat at the start and end of the year, these assessments align to the English National Curriculum for English (grammar, punctuation and spelling), maths and science. Each assessment is designed to be completed within 50 minutes. 

How are these different from diagnostics?

These summative assessments are designed to test students across entire subjects in a more formalised way at the beginning or end of the year.

Diagnostics, on the other hand, focus on more specific topic areas; will influence the pathway and can be done in a less formal manner, in line with day-to-day teaching and learning.

The future of assessments on CENTURY

We will be continuing to develop our assessments suite, with our next steps including:

• Standardisation of questions and submissions

• Strengthening links between assessment submissions and learning recommendations on the platform

• Developing additional assessments

• Long-form written assessments

COMING SOON: Reporting

You will soon be able to download CSV and PDF reports for students from the platform, giving a breakdown of their performance across the topic area.
