The Writing Assessment Grid contains the statements for Working Towards, Working At and Greater Depth from the end of KS1 Teacher Assessment Framework. The grid makes assessing against the statements a much more user-friendly task. Simply insert the date in which the child has evidenced that particular statement in their piece of work. The strips can be used in independent pieces of work such as a Hot Task or Big Write. Simply tick off the statement they have achieved, this can then be logged into the main grid by dating the piece of work the evidence has been gained from. Collecting this evidence from the start of the year will also make the process of Moderation a much smoother and quicker process.

These grids are the end of KS1 teacher assessment framework statements in a classroom-friendly format that can help with day-to-day assessment of the children as well as support in the collection of evidence for Moderation.
