Assessing Primary Writing 19–20 Year 1 exemplars
Last week we released the results of our year 1 judging window. For this window, pupils responded to the following prompt.
Pupils completed the task in controlled conditions to ensure the writing was independent. We have explained the reason for the change to a task prompt in a previous blog: put simply, our schools wanted us to set a specific task as it is harder to judge when everyone is doing something different!
Here are three samples from across the attainment range which show some of the variety of responses.
Year 1 is perhaps the trickiest year to judge because many children are still learning to write. We wrote a lot about this in our response to last year’s Year 1 assessment. Much of that post is still relevant: you can read it here and also compare last year’s writing with this year to see the consistency in scores.
What’s next
If you sign up by Wednesday 19th February for Assessing Primary Writing 2020–2021 then we’ll throw in this year’s year 6 assessment in March free, along with your full annual subscription for next year. http://bit.ly/2GOx227 We currently have 927 schools signed up!
