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.

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

A SoW for a robust and accurate baseline assessment of yr7 students. In a 4 week rotation students are assessed in listening skills, keyboard skills, rhythmic skills, singing skills and self evaluation skills. It comes with in depth powerpoint, SoW, sheet music (sibelius format), self evaluation sheet, assessment sheet and music questionnaire.

A great summative MULTIPLE CHOICE test to enable teachers to assess pupils prior knowledge of key geographical skills. The mark scheme can be adapted to suit but uses a scaled marking approach where a correct answer is worth +2 marks but an incorrect is -1 and unable to attempt is 0. This reduces the pupils chance to guess the correct answer. Can also be embedded into a school Moodle and/or Classroom platform easily for instant marking and feedback.

A test of Geographical skills and knowledge to assess your new pupils

Baseline assessment made for Sept 2018, includes mark scheme, suggested 9-1 KS3 grade boundaries and also a document helping pupils improve some answers for post assessment lesson activitiy

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.

Simple start and end of year assessment in three tiers to allow for access and differentiation. Great for assessing value added over the course of a year and for target setting at the start of a new academic year.

I first used this resource with more able Year 6 pupils, who were working towards the then Level 6 SATs test. The maths curriculum has changed since then, but this resource is still very relevant to the statutory requirements of the Year 6 and Year 7 programmes of study. The resource includes nine multi-part questions and a pupil self-assessment table at the bottom. It is great way of analysing pupils’ strengths and weaknesses at the start of a topic and I like to repeat the activity at the end of the topic to see progress and set the next steps. Alternatively, it can just be used as a worksheet or one off activity to consolidate learning. Resource is provided as both a PDF and a Word document if you would like to adapt it at all.

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.

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 Word and PowerPoint formats which can be amended and changed to suit.

This assessment tests students baseline understanding of Geography. It questions description of location, geographical questions, similarities between places and being able to argue their side of a debate with examples

Simple start and end of year assessment in three tiers to allow for access and differentiation. Great for assessing value added over the course of a year and for target setting at the start of a new academic year.

A practical baseline assessment based around the Mime and the theme of a cooking show.

This is a very episodic scheme that I am currently using with Year 7 to introduce them to Drama and some of the basic skills needed to progress. It is still a work in progress but hopefully it comes as some use to some of you!
