This assessment test allows you to assess your pupils against the national curriculum specification for Python programming. It should be used at the end of Key Stage 3 as a summative assessment rather than as a formative assessment.
The national curriculum specifies that by the end of Key stage 3 pupils should have been taught to “use two or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems; make appropriate use of data structures (for example, lists, tables or arrays); design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions (for example, sub programs).”
This test allows you to assess if your pupils have met this criteria.
It includes a 6 page PDF document which should be printed and given to your pupils to complete under test conditions. There is no practical element to this test and is completed through a written test. This resource also includes a mark scheme to aid the teacher in marking the paper and even includes grade boundaries and descriptions that can assist the teacher when writing pupils’ long reports.
Duration: 1 lesson
This end of unit assessment does assume the pupils have been taught the following areas:
Data types
Syntax errors
Logical and sequence errors
Inputs and outputs
Sequence, selection and iteration
If…else statements
Drawing and understanding flow diagrams
Mathematical operators (+, -, * and /)
Comparison operators (>, <, >=, <=, == and !=)
For loops (count controlled loops)
While loops (condition controlled loops)
Simple lists and 2D lists (data structures)
Sub programs
Passing variables between sub programs and the main program
Local and global variables

This has got to be one of the most unusual and fun ways of introducing your students to the delights of the bubble, insert and merge sorting algorithms. Even if your exam board only teaches two of these sorting algorithms it’s still worth getting this activity and teaching all three as it is just so much fun!
Using an escape room activity that involves a witch and a goblin (who doesn’t want that?) your students will learn the basics of how these three algorithms work.
This is a student-led interactive escape room activity that is ideal for social distancing and does not require any student computers and they can remain at their individual desks and yet they will still be working together.
The entire activity will last a single lesson.
Your role is to not do a lot and put the emphasis on your students working together. Early on you will be turned into a goblin! Sorry (not really sorry) so you may want to practise your goblin roar for when it’s called upon.
Students therefore cannot rely on you to help them (because you’ll be a goblin) and they’ll have to work together (either as a whole class or in smaller teams if you prefer) to try and solve all the riddles in their “spell books” for themselves.
The main activity is introduced via a whole-class PowerPoint presentation which includes videos giving the students vital instructions and helping them if necessary. Each pupil is given a printout of the spell book which contains all the challenges.
This escape room style activity gives your students a great introduction to the three sorting algorithms (bubble sort, insert sort and merge sort) and will certainly give your students a boost at the start of learning this topic.
Suitable for higher KS3 classes and GCSE Computer Science classes.
