Amend spelling expectations for end of Key Stage 2 assessment
It is almost impossible for children with spelling difficulties to reach ‘the expected standard’ in writing.Two small concessions would make a big difference-removal of spelling from teacher assessment of writing and reporting on the outcomes of the spelling test,separate from grammar & punctuation.
Contrary to what the Bew review of assessment recommended, anyone currently working in a primary school, or with any knowledge of the assessment expectations, will know that the system that we are working with does not ensure that ‘the achievement of all pupils with Special Educational Needs is appropriately recognised’. They will also know that the secure fit approach to teacher assessment does not enable writing composition to form the greater part of writing assessment.
