Academic Excellence – PIRA PUMA (Term 2 2023-24)

PIRA and PUMA assessment results Term 2 2022/23.

_

Term 2 has seen further successes by our amazing students at Nadeen School.  We are extremely happy with the progress of all of our students in the PIRA (Progress in Reading Assessment) and PUMA (Progress in Understanding Mathematics Assessment) that have been completed during the last month.  These are an international benchmark of academic progress and we have already seen some excellent individual progress and some exceptional high scores.  In the above picture, we celebrate all of the students who are working at gifted and talented levels in numeracy and literacy- a fantastic achievement.

All students in our school have worked incredibly hard towards these assessments and have ben preparing with examples, tests and learning concepts that are key as they continue through the key stages at school.  These fundamental stages that they learn help provide an excellent platform for their learning as they grow and develop at school.  The PIRA and PUMA assessments help to give a snapshot of where the students are with their learning, help set targets moving forward to to consolidate learning, assisting teachers to inform their planning to encourage and stretch understanding of students.

Thank you to our teachers who have worked tirelessly to ensure that our students are well equipped and ready for these standardised assessments.  Our teachers have carefully planned out lessons, activities and support to enable all of our students to make progress.
