Updated KS1, KS2, Year 1,3 and 4 Writing Assessment Framework Sheets

This is a copy of the revised assessment sheets following the DfE announcements last week in tabular format.

I have also produced versions of the sheets for years 1,3 and 4 based on my knowledge of the curriculum and training as a writing moderator. They have already been adopted by my county as a model for use in schools.

What I did notice is that from the end of KS1 assessment to KS2 the statement on conjunctions disappears other that the inclusion of one word in the cohesion statement. I've put it in the year 3, 4 and KS2 statements, with degrees of qualification to match the KS1 statement with a footnote to explain why. It's not in the greater depth statements, as with other qualifiers it's assumed that once achieved at 'working at' then it doesn't need evidencing again. This applies with other statements, such as punctuation requirements.

There's no Year 5 sheet because, as I do currently, the end of KS2 sheet is introduced from Year 5. The revised targets are very achievable and giving them to the Y5s is, as ever, aspirational.
