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).
