Key Stage 3 Assessment
Students’ attainment will be assessed using the Exceeded, Expected and Emerging descriptors using the Year 7 and Year 8 Attainment Criteria.
This criterion should be displayed in students’ books and must be utilised regularly by students through self, peer and teacher assessment.
Students progress will be assessed using Outstanding, Good and Below.
Students will also be assessed on their efforts against each of the Tallis habits. This will incorporate the previous system of assessing Quality of Homework, Meeting deadlines.
As a department, we have linked each of the habits to an appropriate assessment area for the AQA GCSE controlled assessment and the DT programme of study, which will help to guide assessing effort of individuals to an extent.
KS3 assessment will be recorded on the KS3 assessment criteria sheet in students’ books and will be included in the Tallis reporting cycling.
