A sheet that I used as a Head of History to monitor the books in the History Department. Simple and straight forward.

When pupils ask 'What's a Level 4 Mrs Williams?' I would simply refer to this on my wall display and I would also place a smaller version in their books (this comes with the resource too). Also handy to point out to parents on parents evening who would ask things like 'What does a Level 4 mean in History and how does my son get to a Level 5?' This also benefited the non-specialist teaching staff in the department who were told they had to teach history. With their time limited, they found that this was a useful resource to refer to when assessing pupil work.
