Demonstrating and exemplifying national standards at key stage 3(foundation subjects)

The exemplification of standards files for foundation subjects support effective assessment by demonstrating national standards across key stage 3 at National Curriculum levels 3 to 8. They are a resource and reference point for teachers:

when assessing pupils' work in relation to national standards
for training and professional development purposes
when thinking about next steps for students.

Each exemplification of standards file includes: examples of students' classroom work assessed against national standards; other supporting evidence; a detailed commentary; and an overall assessment judgement on the students' work.
