CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
TEAM
TRAINING MATERIAL FOR
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES
‘The purpose of
assessment, recording and
reporting in religious
education is to:
- ensure effective learning,
- to celebrate growth and
achievement and
- enable further progress’
NBRIA 1997
Here I Am
Formal Assessment - Underlying
Principles
• Foundation Stage, Nursery/Reception –
portfolio of annotated work from each topic
including photographic evidence.
• Years 1-6 Formal Assessment using
expectations and Attainment Levels on a 3 year
cycle so that each theme is assessed formally
twice throughout Key Stage 1 & 2.
AT1 covered through the content
AT2 covered through the process
Assessment should be undertaken during Relate.
An activity will be chosen by the class teacher, that
enables children to show how they have met the
Learning outcome.
This will be marked against the attainment levels on
the child’s ‘Record of Attainment in Religious
Education’.

Planning
• teachers should use the language of the
level descriptors and topic expectations to
inform the way intended learning outcomes are
expressed;
• teachers should clearly identify the focus
and method of assessment from the outset;
• the critical question to address at the planning
stage is ‘what must I do, in this topic, to
enable the pupil to achieve level x’.

How can information be
gained about pupils’ learning?
• Observing pupils
• Listening
• Questioning
• Setting tasks using
specific skills
• Using a variety of
ways of communicating
• Discussing
Making judgements
• teachers will be making professional
judgements about pupils’ performances
almost continually;
• these judgements will lead to
an overall judgement about
attainment;
• teachers will need to decide whether a
pupils’ performance taken as a whole, over
a period of time, has been nearer one level
than another (make a best-fit judgement);
Making judgements contd.
• the attainment within any level
may be ‘hesitant’, or
‘confident’;
• the process of making
judgements about pupil
attainment must inform future
planning.
Completing the Record of
Attainment:
The teacher has a Record of Attainment
sheet for each child and highlights with a
dot of the right colour, the A.T. level
achieved at the end of each assessed
piece of work, remembering that it is a
'best fit' model.
You can take all their class work and work
done in discussions etc. into consideration
when making final judgement. When the
whole level is achieved, (confident) the
entire box is highlighted.

Please refer to the following
information on the website:
• The Levels Summary - for reference
• The Record of Attainment in Religious
Education - look at both sides and agree
the colour to be used for each Year Group
throughout the school.
• The Driver Word Power Point - which will
help with planning and in levelling.
• The Context Sheet – (which has 3 forms
on it) - to be used when levelling work.
The Assessment folder contains:
a) An overview of Formal assessment for
the tasks - to be done at the RELATE
stage of the process
b) All the tasks to be undertaken at every
level for the topic
c) The A.T.s that are to be covered in this
topic
d) The Topic Expectations from Here I
Am – which should still be used.

Main purpose of the
A.T.s
To provide an agreed,
educationally sound, and
therefore, authoritative
‘framework’ of pupil
progression in religious
literacy – the foundation
upon which teachers build
effective teaching and
learning strategies –
and the scaffolding.
This pupil is achieving Level 1 in AT1
Strand ii. (Learning about Religion:
Knowledge and understanding of
Celebration and Ritual)
S/he recognises some of the religious
signs and symbols used in Baptism
(e.g white garment) and can use some
religious words and phrases (e.g.
baptised, God’s family, priest)
Evidence:
This pupil has not achieved level 2
because s/he has not used religious
words/phrases to describe some
religious actions and symbols (L2).
S/he does recognise (naming) that
s/he wore a ‘wite robe’ and was
‘blessed’ but there is insufficient
description of the religious actions
and symbols of baptism to achieve
level 2.
