They can also use a passport-sized photo to move around the framework display board (preferably on show in each classroom) as and when they achieve their set target.
Included in this resource pack is the following:
Assessment framework for Years 3-9 (adaptable, depending on which year groups you teach and when pupils start Drama).
Drama workbooks for Years 5-9. Differentiated for specific year groups and editable, depending on year groups you teach and exam boards you work with (specific to Year 9 in preparation for GCSE).
