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!

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

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.

TAG is a form of peer assessment that I came across when looking into assessment. From it I have created this resource for the children to complete when assessing other children's work. It comes with a scaffold and I recommend that you teach the children (or model) so that the quality of peer assessing is of a good standard.

This booklet contains a selection of key extracts from the play, with differentiated questions, writing frames, and guidance on how to complete a controlled assessment task. It was used to prepare students for a controlled assessment task which compares Lady Macbeth, Macbeth, and the speaker from 'The Laboratory&' (specifically the AQA Literature GCSE), and collates many of the activities we had completed in class. Leave any questions or suggestions in the &';comments' box below - this is my debut resouce upload! Nick
