End of Key Stage 2 Statutory Assessments 2016

End of Key Stage 2 Assessments Tests and Teacher Assessment In 2016, end of KS2 pupils will be assessed through tests and Teacher Assessment. These are now 2 separate processes.

What do we mean by Teacher Assessment? A rounded judgement, taking into account written, practical and oral work in the classroom over time and in a range of contexts. Teachers make these judgements through marking pupil’s work, talking to them about their learning and observing their working practices. These judgements are backed up by evidence (particularly through their books).
