This is a complete set of end points for every subject for each primary year group. It uses the national curriculum statements to pin point what each child should know in each strand by the end of each year. All ready to go with statements clearly organised and tracked through.
Download these to save yourself time setting up progression documents. Great to use alongside case studies when talking to OFSTED. Build up your confidence and make sure you can boast about how each subject progresses at your school.
All reviews welcome.
