Key Stage 3 D&T Marking Grids

This resource is a set of time saving marking grids for providing formative feedback to students and recording improvements in their performance. It is linked directly to the 2014 Key Stage 3 Design and Technology National Curriculum. It has been used successfully in the classroom as presented, but can be adapted and modified to suit individual school and departmental requirements. It has been created by an experienced middle leader and advisor for the subject.

A marking grid is provided for each bullet point of the programme of study, split into the strands of Design, Make, Evaluate, Technical Knowledge and Cooking and Nutrition. The grids also include criteria for literacy and presentation skills within Design and Technology.

In addition to the main marking grids two types of student self assessment sheets have been provided as a bonus resource, one of each type for each strand of the curriculum.

Instructions on how to use the resource and an example of how it can be used.
A marking grid for each bullet point of the KS3 programme of study (19 in total).
