AQA GCSE AfL Controlled Assessment Worksheets

Help your students to help themselves by implementing AfL into their controlled assessment work.

Each worksheet comprehensively covers and focuses on a specific assessment area. Students evaluate their work and quickly identify what they need to further improve. Carefully considered 'pupil-speak' makes assessment criteria accessible.

A Whiting, HoD & Peer Reviewer

'An excellent resource, I'm unsure what i would have done without this. We purchased this resource as I arrived at the school as an NQT having never had a KS4 class of my own. This was an essential resource that allowed me to see and the students to know where the marks come from for the coursework... Levelling was clearly defined and allowed students to progress and monitor where they needed to be to get their target grade... It allowed me to show and explain to my students exactly what was needed and exactly what they were missing to achieve their target grade. The students used the chart at the front to monitor where they were on their coursework and to predict what level they were working at... it has also been used to encourage peer assessment and allowed me to check that my marking was also correct.' – K Morris, D&T Teacher, Customer

'Very good resource useful will make pupils more aware of what is expected and hopefully make it easier to mark their work... Simple statements make it easy to fit the work into a band... Very useful allows pupils themselves to identify weak and/or incomplete areas and then provides info on what they need to do to complete that section.' – P&nbs;Higham, Head of DT, Customer

'It seems to empower the pupils as they feel they have more ownership as to how and where to improve their attainment and marks... It actively encourages pupils to develop a culture of self-peer assessment an and gives many confidence... It is easy to use and the graphic scale on the summary of marketing sheet encourages progress while showing attainable levels... very user friendly and breaks assessment into encouraging chunks which allows pupils to incrementally build the marks and track current attainment. You can spend hours developing hit or miss assessment or progress tracking grids that may or may not work these easy to use accessible sheets do the hard work for you and the kids!!' – D Bartlett, Head of DT, Customer

'An invaluable tool to raise pupil achievement even higher.' – Mrs C O'Reilly, Head of DT & Customer

I was very impressed with this resource. It is straightforward & easy to understand, addressing the requirements of the new AQA specifications" F Balding, Head of DT & Independent Reviewer
