Science
There are two types of science assessment – interactive national curriculum progress assessments and topic assessments.
National Curriculum Progress Assessments
These allow teachers to assess pupils against National Curriculum levels at Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. They have the optional facility of screening questions to determine the level of assessment for each individual pupil. Alternatively, fixed level assessments can be selected instead. View more information about the interactive Science assessments.
Topic Assessments
These assess pupils’ understanding against specific topics from QCA schemes of work. They cover schemes of work for years two to six at Key Stages 1 and 2 and years seven to nine at Key Stage 3.
Reports
All assessments are automatically marked enabling reports to be viewed and printed off for individual pupils and whole classes, reducing teacher workload and enabling full monitoring of pupils’ progress.
The reports give detailed feedback on individual and class performance, including assessment scores and National Curriculum levels achieved, targets for future achievement and summaries of strengths and weaknesses.
The pupil reports feature ‘can do’ statements for questions answered correctly and target statements for those answered incorrectly. These statements have been written for each question specifically rather than for topic areas in general, allowing teachers and pupils to target particular areas of weakness.
Assessment Builder
Teachers can custom make assessments from our extensive question banks choosing question by level, curriculum area and strands.
