KS2 Statutory Assessment and Tests
The KS2 Teacher Assessment Guidance for use in the academic year 2023-2024 was published in October and outlines details of the moderation process and gives guidance on levels of independence and particular weakness.
The KS2 Teacher Assessment Frameworks will be used again this academic year, to assess the attainment of those working within the standard of the Key Stage in English writing. The KS2 Pre Key Stage Frameworks will be used to assess those working below the standard of the Key Stage, and therefore the tests, who access a subject specific curriculum.
For those who do not access a subject specific curriculum, the Engagement Model Framework has replaced p-scales 1-4 and must be used to assess attainment.
