%X This report reviews research into assessment, especially in schools,  analyses the  pivotal role of assessment in learning and argues for its   reconceptualisation by practitioners and policy makers to better  support  learning.
Section 1 outlines some current pressures for assessment reform,  introduces the concept of a learning assessment system designed to  establish where learners are in their progress within an empirically  mapped domain of learning, and sketches a set of design principles for  such a system.
