Student friendly assessment criteria checklists
29th December 2025
Student assessment criteria checklists are a valuable tool for supporting students' understanding of the individual strands of each of the four objectives' assessment criteria. They can be adapted to be task-specific and aligned with individual summative tasks, or they can be used in the form in which they have been published here.
The Year 1 student checklists can be used with Year 2 students; the Year 3 checklists can also be used with Year 2 or Year 4 students, and the Year 5 checklists can be used with Year 4 students and Year 5 students. The choice depends on your students' performance level; for example, low-achieving students or students who have moved from Language Acquisition to Language and Literature may use the Year 1 or Year 3 assessment criteria instead of moving to the Year 3 or Year 5 criteria in Years 2 or 4.
Below is the student checklist for Criterion A: Analysing.
