New Assessment model for Schools - 'Assessment without levels'
Following the introduction of a new National Curriculum framework from September 2014 the government has removed level descriptors for assessing pupils' attainment. Schools have been given the freedom to develop their own approaches to assessment to align with their curriculum and to meet the needs of their pupils.
