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.

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. The brief for this particular NPQSL was related to improving whole-school curriculum and staff CPD.

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!

30 mark (35 minute) test on rivers, flooding and the water cycle for Year 7. This was based on the content from the Geog.1 text books; however, it is suitable for any topic on rivers at KS3. Students have to label a diagram of the water cycle, define key terms, draw diagrams and produce longer responses on flood defences. This assessment should be accessible for lower ability students whilst the longer responses will stretch G&T pupils. There is no mark scheme with this assessment; however, it is relatively straight forward to put one together based on the content that has been covered in your class. I am aware that some content may have been missed out due to time restrictions, so this test is easily modified.

This PowerPoint is intended to act as an assessment aid for teachers, as well as providing ready made slides for use in lessons. It contains the entire text of the APP-Science 'Big Sheet', along with examples taken from the DSCF website and links to further assessment information from there. The cat pictures are just my own thing, but they do seem to lighten an otherwise fairly intense resource. Anyway...feel free to have a play with it. This replaces the minimal version that I had already uploaded, and contains all the same slides as that one. It has only been added to. Please note I am NOT a Science teacher. Although I have tried to include relevant examples I may have got it wrong here and there. I value any comments on this.

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
