Assessing
Reconciliation – Inter Relating
For our Joint Catholic and
Church of England Schools.
Assessing RECONCILIATION – INTER-RELATING
Joint Schools
• This term, the formally assessed theme is the
SACRAMENTAL THEME - RECONCILATION
• We will be formally assessing AT1 (ii) and from Level 4
AT1(iii) . The children may be informally assessed
against the other strands.
• Each year group will assess from an activity taken
from a Learning Focus in Reveal.
• The activities are listed over the next few slides.
• When planning please leave this task out.
• Please teach all of ‘Explore’, ‘Reveal’ (but not the task
you will use for the formal assessment) then, after
‘Remember’, please formally assess.
• This enables the children to have had opportunity to
work through the topic in full to inform their
assessment.
