Each collection of work in the standards files has been assessed using an assessment guidelines sheet. Four kinds of annotation or commentary may support assessment of the pupil's work.

Completed assessment guidelines sheets

At the end of each standards file a completed assessment guidelines sheet shows how the pupil's work is assessed and provides information towards making a judgement of 'Low', 'Secure' or 'High' within a level.

Marginal annotation

These annotations indicate where a particular criterion in the guidelines is met. The annotations refer directly to criteria for an AF at a particular level.

Commentary on a piece of evidence

At the end of each piece of a pupil's work in reading or writing a commentary summarises what has been demonstrated across the AFs.

Assessment summaries

These consider all the evidence and conclude with a level judgement for the AT.
