Resumen de Measuring the unmeasurable.
This article reviews how the presence of a bespoke assessment system can enable the measurement of what was previously 'unmeasurable' in a constructive and positive way. It highlights how tracking the small‐step progress of pupils with a diagnosis of special educational needs can support the identification of targets which not only support pupil progress but also increase understanding by professionals of how effective assessments can enable them to develop skills in planning and setting individual targets. This article shows how one school community has responded to the reforms implemented by central government by using them as an opportunity to draw on the strengths of the school, the experience they have in supporting SEND pupils and a deep commitment to providing all the pupils with the best possible education. The article reflects on the development of this system and its impact on teaching and learning across the whole school, using an illustrative case study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
