Year 7 History Baseline History Skills & Knowledge Assessment Test - KS2/KS3 Transition

This pack includes:

• A 3 page baseline assessment designed to be given to students during their first half term in Year 7 to assess their historical skills and knowledge.
• A PPT presentation with all the answers and mark schemes to use when going through the assessment with your students.
• A self-assessment sheet for students to complete once they have their results for the teacher and student to set targets.

This resource has been successfuly used in the classroom for a number of years and has provided staff with vital data about each student’s historical knowledge and skills.

Please note that students need no prior historical knowledge of events to complete the assessment. The example sources and interpretations I use in the assessment are based on the Battle of Hastings as this is commonly taught in Year 7 but students do not need any knowledge of these events to gain full marks.
