		<description>This is just my opinion - feel free to comment or critisise...

I wouldn&#039;t attempt to assess within the 4 capacities. These capacities reflect exposure to ways to strengthen a character - in other words, we cannot or shouldn&#039;t assess sonmeone for their personality.
Instead, assessment needs to reflect the responsibilites for all, although again, necessarily all 3 for every subject area. Schools will be developing their own reports, perhaps a space for each subject, space to mention interdisciplinary. 
There has been a lot of discussion on whether the level should be broken up - otherwise pupils will appear to be at the same level for a long time - however, I don&#039;t really agree with this, as we should instead be concentrating on depth, progression etc.
Also I feel there still should be something summative on there, as it wouldn&#039;t be as if we are going to stop tests althogether..
What do others think?</description>
