This English language baseline assessment has been designed to work flexibly across both KS3 and KS4. I developed it for my own school in order decide upon the best qualification pathway to place our students on: GCSE English lanaguage or Step Up to English.
I created the assessment grid to match the GCSE 9-1 course.
Files included:
English Language Baseline Assessment for KS3 and KS4.
English Language Baseline Assessment Mark Scheme.
Assessment Marking Grid.
Lesson duration: 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Why purchase me?
I am being used successfully in a pupil referral unit as I am highly engaging. I have been broken down into accessible steps whilst maintaining a high level of challenge. I am especially useful for informing decisions regarding the placement of students onto suitable English qualification pathways.
Suggested general guide to pathways:
- less than or equal to 1, consider Step Up to English Silver pathway in order to build graduated steps to achievement.
- greater than 1 but less than 2, consider Step Up to English Gold pathway in order to build graduated steps to achievement and prepare for the demands at GCSE level.
- greater than 2, consider direct entry onto the GCSE English Language pathway.

This is brilliant! Working in a PRU too I would love to see another one for progress throughout the year (pretty please). AQA ones aren't nearly as interesting as this one, our students didn't argue about sitting this assessment. Thank you :)
Thank you. A good explanation of the level of each mark - but I was hoping you would also show the pathways. I was interested in you working for PRU because that means the pupils taking this test could be various ages so how do you work out their pathway/predicted grade - and what makes you choose to use Step Up?
Unlike the AQA resource, this one is beautifully presented. This matters for students who are having a wobbly time in (or out) of education. It makes them feel like someone cares about what is presented to them. It is also a great tool for carrying out a pre- and post-intervention assessment.
