 Head of Sixth Form at City of Liverpool College, Michelle Bibby said: "The students have done really well. I manage the GCSE resit programme which is a programme for students who haven't necessarily got the grades to move on to a level 3 route or if they were disappointed with their GCSE's or they haven't had any opportunity to take GCSE's before.   "So they have come to the college and achieved excellent grades so we are really pleased for those students.   "It's about working on that mindset for students that they can do it and also building the skills that they potentially haven't developed at school.   "So we have a pre-GCSE programme as well which has really helped our students to develop over a course of two years rather than just one.   "So we always recommend that if students haven't got any GCSE's to do our level one launch pad programme and that builds in the foundations and the skill sets that they ne...

  In 2002 statutory baseline assessments were replaced by the foundation stage profile. Some schools continue to use both. The purpose of base-line assessment (usually carried out during the first term in the reception year) was to enable the reception teacher to plan their teaching to match individual children's needs and eventually to judge the child's progress against this initial baseline assessment. The basic skills of speaking and listening, reading, writing, mathematics and personal and social development are assessed. The Foundation Stage Profile has 13 summary scales covering the six areas of learning, which have to be completed for each child in state education by the end of his or her time in the foundation stage. The areas of assessment are: Personal, social and emotional development (how the child works, interacts and cooperates with others) Communication, language and literacy (listening, speaking, reading and writing skills) Mathematical dev...

  The UK national curriculum, examinations and qualifications The exams merry-go-round Walk into any bookshop and it's hard to believe Letts didn't introduce exams! A quick glance at the array of revision guides demonstrates the importance and emphasis now placed on assessing little Annie or Ahmed. For some parents, exams prove an occasion to swell with pride, as their child soars over the hurdles. Others seem to limp along, attempting to find a different way to cross the hurdle, dodge it, or not even getting an invitation to attempt it. However, we are told testing is designed to help spot problems and to allow children to be given appropriate help and support, so don't be despondent if your child doesn't fly first time, but do work with teachers and other professionals to help sort problems and difficulties. The National Curriculum for England and P levels Introduction The National Curriculum for England and Wales is the framework used by all state schools i...

  TEENAGER Scarlett Jones admitted to a few pre-GCSE English results day nerves. But the 16-year-old Teesdale School student needn’t have worried – she swept the board achieving grade 9 in all nine subjects. The Winston youngster plans to study A levels in biology, chemistry. Maths and further maths at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington. She said her grades were “better than I thought” and had no complaints.

  Scotland has its own curriculum, examinations and examining body. The 5-14 Curriculum and Assessment There are (non-statutory) guidelines relating to the content and assessment of the primary and S1 and S2 curriculum (prior to standard grade study). This is similar to the English National curriculum although the assessment regime is different. The 5-14 guidelines cover: environmental studies, expressive arts, language, mathematics, and religious and moral education. Children are assessed throughout their primary and secondary school years in reading, writing and mathematics. They are awarded levels A to F, A is the lowest level, usually awarded to children in P2/3, F is the highest level awarded to the most able children in S2. Pupils are assessed at each level when the teacher feels the child will achieve that level. It is possible for different children in a class to be assessed at different levels simultaneously. This differs to SATs where a child will sit an exam that co...
