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.
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.

This is a complete unit for the study of the novel Holes by Louis Sachar, suitable for S1 or S2 classes in Scotland or Year 7 or Year 8 in England.
It includes PP for every chapter with comprehension tasks, questions and creative writing short tasks.
The unit builds up to writing a critical essay about one of the main characters.
The unit also includes a Speaking and Listening assessment about racism (that could be included as part of the unit or not).
Finally, it includes a lesson on how to review the film version of the novel.
I have used some tasks I have found online in the past and adapted them to suit this unit of work.
I hope this unit proves to be useful to everyone! Enjoy!
This CPD session offers an engaging and original approach to introducing or revisiting assessment for learning. Grounded in educational research, this CPD session is interactive, well-structured, and has been successfully tried and tested. The aim of the CPD session is to develop the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed in order to utilise assessment for learning even more effectively in lessons, and it achieves this by embarking upon the following learning journey:
1. Understand what assessment for learning is and why it is effective.
2. Break down the individual components of assessment for learning.
3. Observe and evaluate a model of assessment for learning
4. Collaborate in developing your own assessment for learning strategies.
Included in this pack are: Full PowerPoint presentation, videos for analysis, hyperlinks to Youtube videos, resources for CPD activities, instructions and guidance for trainers/ presenters.
All images and videos are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.
A baseline assessment linked to my progression document.
Following checkpoints and statements from Development Matters, aged 3-4 statements.
Many of these activities can be done through teacher assessment observing children in play but also through CP enhancements and play-based learning. No RBA tablet-style assessing here!
