PIRA and PUMA assessment results Term 3 2022/23.
It has been a thoroughly successful end to the year regarding the final literacy and numeracy results at Nadeen School. It has been wonderful to see 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 internationally recognised, and we are incredibly proud of the hard work from all students and staff to achieve these fantastic results.
At each year level, these assessments test the foundations of literacy comprehension and numeracy skills that are necessary for students of that age. Staff have identified specific areas in which students need to improve, and prepared key activities to not only consolidate this learning, but to also stretch and challenge all students at the appropriate level. Students work hard at school with the staff and are also so motivated that they continue at home supported by family to focus on target areas raised over the year. This collaboration is so important for students and their progress.
Thank you to the staff for their incredible dedication and support of their students, planning carefully to ensure that students are fully equipped and supported for these assessments.
It is an excellent way to complete the year!
“Following the hard work this year from staff, students and parents, we’ve seen outstanding progress for all students once again from the PIRA and PUMA assessments.”
