When I worked in a special needs school i designed this baseline assessment. I would complete this for every child in the class to allow me to track their development.

A fully editable 9-page EAL screening form. The aim of this screening form is to establish a student’s basic English language proficiency; to identify a student who requires EAL, EFL, ESL support and to identify topic areas a student may need to develop. Before carrying out the screening form, it is helpful to say to the child, ‘During the task, I will circle some areas that you find a bit tricky. This is to help me know which areas I need to focus on in class so that I can make your English even better!’ By saying this, the student will be reassured from the start. . The following 23 topic areas are assessed: Colours Numbers (0 - 9) Numbers (10 – 20) Body parts Head / Face Clothes Household objects School Shapes Action words Domestic Animals Weather words Food - Basics Food - Fruit Food - Vegetables Fast food Wild Animals Gardening Positional Words Days of the week Times of the day Months of the year Professions / Jobs

This resource contains 2 baseline assessments and two mark schemes for history transition from year 6-7. The first test examines knowledge and understanding, and tests students on their knowledge of historical methods and the Second World War (KS2 topic). It is fully differentiated and examines recall and key second order concept understanding. The second assessment is a skills assessment which evaluates students’ ability to use source materials. They are required to demonstrate key skills such as making inferences; comparing sources; assessing reliability. There are a wide range of written; pictoral and photographic evidence to evaluate on the papers testing all of their skills as well as written sources. They are accompanied with mark schemes and guidance on performance. I use these tests to inform planning and differentiation for the year.

I've revised and updated my baseline test to include measuring across the four main attainment areas of Making Skills, Ideas, Knowledge and Evaluation. My test takes only one lesson to complete plus one homework task and marking is done in the lesson itself. I've used this test for years and I know it works well. I was a member of the NSEAD Curriculum Writing Group that wrote the curriculum competencies, more formally called the: 'Framework for Progression, Planning for Learning, Assessment, Recording and Reporting 2014.’ For more fantastic art resources visit my TES store https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/paulcarney700

This English language baseline assessment has been designed to work flexibly across both KS3 and KS4. I developed it for my own school in order decide upon the best qualification pathway to place our students on: GCSE English lanaguage or Step Up to English. I created the assessment grid to match the GCSE 9-1 course. Files included: English Language Baseline Assessment for KS3 and KS4. English Language Baseline Assessment Mark Scheme. Assessment Marking Grid. Lesson duration: 1 hour and 45 minutes. Why purchase me? I am being used successfully in a pupil referral unit as I am highly engaging. I have been broken down into accessible steps whilst maintaining a high level of challenge. I am especially useful for informing decisions regarding the placement of students onto suitable English qualification pathways. Suggested general guide to pathways: less than or equal to 1, consider Step Up to English Silver pathway in order to build graduated steps to achievement. greater than 1 but less than 2, consider Step Up to English Gold pathway in order to build graduated steps to achievement and prepare for the demands at GCSE level. greater than 2, consider direct entry onto the GCSE English Language pathway.

This resource assesses pupils with an EHCP when they join a new school or education establishment. It records the level that a pupil is functioning at and can help a new school understand the support that they need going forwards (at their new school). This assessment can then be re-assessed year on year against the initial baseline to demonstrate progress against the baseline and the students entry into a new education establishment (also attached in this document). Always useful when Ofsetd or the LEA needs evidence of a pupils progress.

A simple and effective way of ascertaining what students already know from Key Stage 2 in the subject. Progress can then be mapped against this.

Feedback cards offering specific targets for improvement for 3 different levels of challenge.

The aim of this test is to find out how much the students know about history. The results will give you a baseline from which you can build upon. Once they begin to study history, they will begin to show progress in all areas, particularly in the amount of detail required in answers. The test focuses on chronology, cause and consequence, change and continuity, historical enquiry, interpretation and significance. This is a particularly useful assessment for a history department and as a starting point and ideally for Year 7. Most students sadly will not have studied a lot of history at their primary schools (apart from the odd day to study the Victorians or World War 2) as literary, numeracy and SATS still dominate primary school curriculum planning. The resource comes in PDF, Word and Powerpoint formats which can be amended and changed to suit.
