Examples of pupils' work to demonstrate teacher assessment judgements in science at the end of key stage 1 (KS1).

Details
The end of KS1 national curriculum assessments became optional from the academic year 2023 to 2024. If schools choose to carry out optional KS1 teacher assessment, they can use these materials to help inform the judgements they make against the non-statutory KS1 teacher assessment framework for science.
The materials exemplify working at the expected standard. They illustrate how the ‘pupil can’ statements in the frameworks might be met, but they do not dictate a particular method of teaching or the evidence expected from the classroom.
