Abstract

The research was based on an online survey and interviews and explored headteachers’ views on the whole range of primary assessment. The survey was completed by 288 headteachers and executive headteachers in the period March-June 2019. The respondents were leaders at Community Primary Schools, Faith Schools, Academies and other schools, with a range of Ofsted ratings, ‘Good’ being the most common. A number of questions allowed respondents to write in free text answers, including a question on Baseline. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 headteachers at primary schools in various regions and from different types of school during the same period. Headteachers were asked what their views were on the return of Baseline and about its use in assessing progress. Written survey responses are indicated by the letter W and interview responses by a pseudonym for the school.
