This research report studies the effect of Assessment for Learning (AfL) on pupils, teachers and leaders in four primary schools. The aim of the report was to understand how these schools and school leaders were engaged with the personalisation agenda.

This report uncovers not just how AfL was being used in these schools and how it had been developed, but about the culture and ethos of the schools that supported its integration. For personalisation to become embedded, it is as much about an ethos that acknowledges its importance as a principle related to rights and responsibilities, as about technical practices.

Based on this study six key questions were identified for leaders to consider when attempting to personalise learning through AfL.

This publication is part of our special series on personalised learning.
