I have created a baseline assessment on entry to Reception, because I struggled to find a baseline assessment that matched the new Development Matters document. Therefore, I have used Development Matters, July 2021 to create this document and to look at what we would expect children to be doing when they enter Reception in September, to be 3-4 years secure. I hope this resource helps you too!

While future SATs will be have different briefs, this example may provide some inspiration and reassurance as to what BPN and other NPQSL providers are looking for in this final part of the qualification.

Ace your NPQSL! Summative Assessment Task.
Having successfully completed an NPQSL course in December 2024, I would like to share the summative assessment task that led to gaining the qualification.
**I want to clarify that the case study itself was authored and provided by the course provider, and as such, I do not hold the rights to publish or share it publicly. **
The task example was written in response to a scenario where you are a newly appointed senior leader at a school facing significant challenges - including poor attendance, low attainment, and behaviour issues in a disadvantaged area.
The task was to critically assess the situation, identify the key issues, and propose solutions underpinned by educational research and proven practice. The intention was to present a clear and structured response that could serve as a strong example of strategic thinking and leadership.
The task was divided into the following 3 subheadings:
Identify Problems (10% of marks)
Identify solutions (40%) and set out the rationale for your chosen solutions (15%)
Implementing your chosen strategy(ies) (35%)
I scored highly on the NPQSL Summative Assessment Task, demostrating strong leadership and strategic thinking.
The task did not exceed 2500 words and although this scenario might not be directly applicable to your assignment task, the structure, reasoning and references will give you an example to build a winning summative assessment task.

An easy to follow assessment based around Scratch and key programming concepts. Q1 covers “sequencing”, Q2 covers “variables”, Q3 covers “sequencing”, Q4 covers “operators” and Q5 covers “iteration” and “debugging”. There is an easy to follow mark scheme and a revision powerpoint which could be set as homework, prior to the assessment. It is ideal for KS3, especially Year 7 or 8 and is really well differentiated, as there are easy questions and then increasingly trickier ones. It can be set as an end of unit assessment or as a baseline test to find out how much students already know about key programming terms, such as sequencing, variables, selection and iteration.
Includes and animated powerpoint with starter, tasks and end of lesson quiz + 4 worksheets.
This powerpoint covers the stages of an LCA for paper vs plastic objects and gets students to think about the questions they must ask themselves about each stage of a product’s life.
Tailored for the AQA Chemistry and combined science trilogy specifications.

Resource details what type of tasks count towards each objective for the Edexcel GCSE Specification in Art and Design.
Students and teacher can in different pens tick the appropriate box- have they completed no work towards, minimal, secure or in depth amount towards that objective.
You can then tally up how many grades you got in each section and therefore clearly see in each AO where students are struggling.
You can then convert the grades on to the grid- so majority of minimal amount would be 2/3 grade. Secure- 4/5/6 and in depth 7,8,9 grades.
There are then four boxes where student and teacher can write in clearly what tasks need to be complete to improve each assessment objective.
