KS1 TEACHER ASSESSMENT
• Teachers use own knowledge of a child and the results
of the KS1 tests to determine if a child is at age related
expectations.
• They use ‘interim teacher assessment frameworks’ to
do this.
• These are a series of statements that a child must be
able to show achievement in. They have to achieve
every statement. • Frameworks available on: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/interim-
frameworks-for-teacher-assessment-at-the-end-of-key-stage-1
ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK - RESULTS
Using the Assessment Framework statements, teachers
make an overall judgement about a child, that they are:
•Working towards the expected standard
or
•Working at the expected standard
or
•Working at greater depth within the expected standard

KS1 FINAL ASSESSMENT
In June, teachers will make a final assessment on each child
for reading, writing, and maths.
To do this, they will use:
• KS1 test results
• School formal assessments
• Regular class work
These assessments are submitted formally to the local
authority, and shared with parents/carers at the end of the year.

KS2 TEACHER ASSESSMENT
• Teachers assess KS2 reading, writing, and maths (and
science too).
• However, final results for reading, SPAG, and
maths are based on KS2 test results only.
• There is no KS2 test for writing
• Final results for writing are based on teacher
assessment only
• Therefore, the teacher assessment for writing is very
important.
KS2 TEACHER ASSESSMENT
• Teachers use their own knowledge of a child to determine if a child is at age related expectations in reading, writing, and maths.
• They use ‘interim teacher assessment frameworks’ to do this.
• These are a series of statements that a child must be able to show achievement in. They have to achieve everystatement.
• Frameworks available on:https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/interim-frameworks-for-teacher-assessment-at-the-end-of-key-stage-2

•Working towards the expected standard
or
•Working at the expected standard
or

ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK - RESULTS
Reading, Maths and Science:
Using the Assessment Framework statements, teachers make an overall judgement about a child, that they are:
•Working at the expected standard
or
•Not working at the expected standard
TEACHER ASSESSMENT - SEN
For children not working at the expected standard
(but are above P scales, which are used to measure
children’s abilities at a pre year 1 level), then teachers
use ‘pre Key Stage Standards’ to asses their learning.

KS2 TEST VS TEACHER ASSESSMENT
• Whilst we submit teacher assessments for reading, writing,
and maths, it is only writing that uses teacher assessment
only as the final assessment outcome.
• For reading, SPAG, and maths, the KS2 tests are used as the
final assessment outcome.
