Whole School Science Assessment Grids (OFSTED Approved)

Whole School Science Assessment Grids (OFSTED Approved)

These assessment grids can be printed and used in science books to monitor progress in primary science. They can also be used as teacher guidance documents to ensure a varied and rich science curriculum, all linked tightly to the National Curriculum.

Included:

• A4 KS1 Targets
• A4 LKS2 Targets
• A4 Year 5 Targets
• A4 Year 6 Targets

Used as part of a 2019 OFSTED Inspection and ‘Science Deep Dive’ (rated GOOD), these assessment grids will enable you, as the SL, to ensure that you have a whole school overview on the planning, assessment and expectations in your subject.

Each topic area has clearly displayed objectives from the National Curriculum in black, along with questions to promote deeper thinking/greater depth in colour. Each topic has also been identified as chemistry, biology or physics. Furthermore, working scientifically skills linked to each year group are clearly displayed in a blue box and guidance for written reports in grey.

In school, we attach these in the back of science books and monitor progress across the year by highlighting the objectives the children have achieved.
