Here’s a set of three KS3 assessments for SEND students. They each come with a respective mark scheme that is thorough and can be used confidently by non-English specialists. You could use them to baseline or as an end-of-year test.
They are very visual and autism-friendly. I wrote them to take into account the very broad range of levels in our school and to minimise stress, whilst going some way to prepare them for the papers they will eventually experience. They assess reading and writing.
In terms of ability, I refer to the old NC levels below as our school’s won’t make sense to anyone outside of it!
Paper 1: P7-L1 or thereabouts. (similar in format to an EL1 Functional Skills paper)
Paper 2: L2-L6 (similar to an Entry Level Certificate)
Paper 3: L7+ (a much-simplified GCSE structure)
They are easily tweaked and changed so you can edit them how you like.
I hope they will save you an awful lot of time!
