Functional Skills English Reading and Writing Initial Assessment based on Pearson Edexcel criteria. Aimed at post 14- adult learners.
Reading Assessment contains a range of questions from Entry Level to Level 2. Writing Assessment contains three writing tasks aimed at Entry Level 3 - Level 2. Answers and marking criteria included. Also includes a powerpoint providing background to Functional Skills English, a short quiz and icebreaker activity. Takes 1.30 to deliver.
I have created a baseline assessment on entry to Reception, because I struggled to find a baseline assessment that matched the new Development Matters document. Therefore, I have used Development Matters, July 2021 to create this document and to look at what we would expect children to be doing when they enter Reception in September, to be 3-4 years secure. I hope this resource helps you too!

Ace your NPQSL! Summative Assessment Task.
Having successfully completed an NPQSL course in December 2024, I would like to share the summative assessment task that led to gaining the qualification.
**I want to clarify that the case study itself was authored and provided by the course provider, and as such, I do not hold the rights to publish or share it publicly. **
The task example was written in response to a scenario where you are a newly appointed senior leader at a school facing significant challenges - including poor attendance, low attainment, and behaviour issues in a disadvantaged area.
The task was to critically assess the situation, identify the key issues, and propose solutions underpinned by educational research and proven practice. The intention was to present a clear and structured response that could serve as a strong example of strategic thinking and leadership.
The task was divided into the following 3 subheadings:
Identify Problems (10% of marks)
Identify solutions (40%) and set out the rationale for your chosen solutions (15%)
Implementing your chosen strategy(ies) (35%)
I scored highly on the NPQSL Summative Assessment Task, demostrating strong leadership and strategic thinking.
The task did not exceed 2500 words and although this scenario might not be directly applicable to your assignment task, the structure, reasoning and references will give you an example to build a winning summative assessment task.
An end of unit test for year 7.
Includes all major map skills such as compass points, grid references, scale, longitude/latitude and relief. Also includes mark scheme, self reflection sheet and differentiated. DIRT tasks require foundations textbook or could be adapted to suit.
This editable assessment is set from the new National Curriculum objectives for Year 1.
It can be used as a baseline to assess where children are within their mathematical knowledge at the start of Year 2.
The total is out of 50 marks.
This is editable and there is space for children to do workings out etc.
I have previously uploaded a Year 1 baseline assessment which has been downloaded 100+ times.

A completed example of the NPQSL SAT from April 2023 with BPN, which was awarded 49/50.
While future SATs will be have different briefs, this example may provide some inspiration and reassurance as to what BPN and other NPQSL providers are looking for in this final part of the qualification.
The brief for this particular NPQSL was related to improving whole-school curriculum and staff CPD.
This CPD session offers an engaging and original approach to introducing or revisiting assessment for learning. Grounded in educational research, this CPD session is interactive, well-structured, and has been successfully tried and tested. The aim of the CPD session is to develop the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed in order to utilise assessment for learning even more effectively in lessons, and it achieves this by embarking upon the following learning journey:
1. Understand what assessment for learning is and why it is effective.
2. Break down the individual components of assessment for learning.
3. Observe and evaluate a model of assessment for learning
4. Collaborate in developing your own assessment for learning strategies.
Included in this pack are: Full PowerPoint presentation, videos for analysis, hyperlinks to Youtube videos, resources for CPD activities, instructions and guidance for trainers/ presenters.
All images and videos are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.

Many of these activities can be done through teacher assessment observing children in play but also through CP enhancements and play-based learning. No RBA tablet-style assessing here!

This is an Initial Assessment for Functional Skills English
It is designed to be completed by a learner, to enable tutors to gain an indication of their current level of functionality.
There needs to always be a diagnostic assessment following this so that
a Tracking Sheet can then be completed by a tutor/teacher to provide an overall view of the learner’s skills and allows for a “spikey profile”.
The English Tracking sheet has been made available - look at our shop.
This is a chart in-keeping with letters and sounds and also variants from Ruth Miskin. It charts all the letters and sounds phonemes in order of phase and includes the variants eg long vowel phonemes and the different ways of spelling the same sound.
