Moderation Portfolio Assessment Tasks
Come and See Spring 2014
Eucharist
AT1ii
The following assessment tasks have been compiled for the Spring term for inclusion in school
portfolios. These will enable
 Schools to produce a moderation portfolio of assessed work using common tasks for Years
One to Six. (An activity is available for Early Years, but this need not be included in the school
portfolio.)
 Consistency of levelling locally, at diocesan level, and nationally, across topics and strands
 The collation of exemplars showing secure levels within each strand
It is important to remember that this task only serves as part of the evidence used to support the
‘best fit’ level of attainment achieved by the pupil in this term. The task should be given a straight
level and not sub-levelled. Teachers should award a sub-level to each child at the end of each term
taking into account all their work across that term.
The timetable for assessment work for school portfolios is as follows. Over the next three years, all
strands will be covered.

The tasks this term are based on activities within the Reveal section of Come and See for the
Eucharist topic and have been adapted to meet the focus of AT1ii. While each task is based on one
level, they can be differentiated either by adjustment or by outcome. This is clearly shown for each
task. Driver words are in bold to assist you with the planning and assessment of the task. In the grid
the teacher should highlight the level achieved and add reasons for awarding the level in the
commentary box.
The sheet serves as a cover sheet to the given task. It should be attached to and annotated for each
piece of work in the portfolio. This sheet will be used at diocesan moderation meetings so please
add your school name, badge or crest and the town to the top of each sheet.
Please note that evidence of a pupil’s response can be scribed by an adult if the pupil is unable to
record his/her response independently in written form. Please try to record the pupil’s own words.
Additional note – some of the tasks require further research, particularly
within the higher levels. With this in mind, a set of Background Notes have
been produced to guide teachers and supplement their knowledge.
