SPaG whole school progression and assessment grid

The SPaG objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum have been taken and organised on to one grid to make the progression of the objectives across the year groups clear. The grid also allows teachers to easily access what has already been taught so the objectives can continue to be revisited and built upon year on year.

The grid could also be used as an assessment tool as to be age related, children should be able to access the objectives within their year group as well as be secure in the objectives from previous year groups. The blue objectives provide some guidance of the greater depth standard; however, in general, the children should show a greater level of security within their year group objectives taking the statements from ‘some’ to ‘most’. The children should not be taught objectives out of their year group but some may naturally apply some of the higher objectives to their writing which may also be an indication that they are starting to work within greater depth. As such, having easy access to future objectives is another usual assessment tool.
