What does 'met' look like...?

The question in schools around the expectations at the end of Key Stage 2 continues... the interim framework has become our 'go to' document and we await the new exemplification materials due to be released shortly with baited breath...! The bigger picture has to be how we give pupils opportunities and gather evidence that they can show they've 'met' it...

• A natural feel - regardless of topics - fluently using skills and concepts which aren't forced upon
• Their skills are applied in many different areas of learning across the breadth of the curriculum
• Evidence of their independence and choice away from the point of teaching
• Evidence of their practice and process work which is important along with careful questioning and reflection with and by the pupil about their learning
• Time is spent in developing their ideas and discussing experiences so they are articulating their learning in a variety of ways
