Assessment Framework | Whole School Bundle

Levels 1–3 (Curriculum for Wales)

The Intentional Assessment Framework – Complete Toolkit brings together all three levels of the framework to provide a coherent, structured approach to progression and alignment within the Curriculum for Wales.

Designed to support classroom practice, AoLE leadership and whole-school strategy, this toolkit helps ensure that progression is intentional, connected and developmentally appropriate at every level of the school.

This is not an additional monitoring system. It is a clarity framework.
