The new assessment below have been designed to assess fluency, problem solving and reasoning.
They have been written to accompany the Learning Journeys / Flight Paths from our  Year 7 & 8 Schemes of Learning.
The probing questions which can be found at the bottom of this page should be used during the feedback process, either during a 1-1 conversation between the teacher and pupil, or as a written question on the dialogue marking sheets which have been built into the assessment tasks.
These have been developed in response to the Report on the NAHT Commission on Assessment - Feb 2014, please see link below.
​For further information about how these can be adapted post levels read my blog, link below.

The  Old Assessment Tasks, below and opposite, still refer to levels at KS3 and old GCSE  grades at KS4. It is my intention to remove the levels and add the new Flight Paths and Learning Journeys. These Assessment tasks will also be updated over time to ensure that they include questions designed to assess fluency, reasoning and problem solving.
