Guidance
This document is intended to support formative assessment.
Teachers can use the information to help them decide if children have met or exceeded age related expectations at the end of the year.
When making judgments teachers can use the ncetm Exemplifications together with KCC Probing Questions.
Previous information from the autumn and spring terms will form part of this end of year assessments. There is no need therefore to re-assess children
who have previously met the statement.
Evidence can be gathered across the term but not at the point of teaching.
This whole process must be supported by evidence and by rigorous in-school and cross-school moderation.
