Committed to ensuring all young people receive an education of the highest quality, appropriate to need, and irrespective of any special educational needs, disabilities, social or other contextual factors; Lancashire County Council has devised the widely acclaimed assessment tool Performance Indicators for Valued Assessment and Targeted Learning (PIVATS).
Used throughout the world, PIVATS provides a structured approach to assessing, planning for learning and measuring small steps.
Available in two formats, PIVATS 5 focuses on Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening and Mathe- matics, while PIVATS PSED aims to narrow the gaps in social and emotional development present in some children.
To enable schools to record assessments, set targets and generate reports PIVATS 5 On-line Analysis can also be purchased on subscription.
