What is the TAF? • The TAF is an acronym for the ‘Teacher Assessment Framework’ • TAFs support teachers in making statutory judgements for children at the end of their Key Stage • TAFs are available for Maths, Reading and Writing • TAFs focus on key aspects of the curriculum • The framework has a range of ‘Pupil can’ statements which guide teachers judgements

  6. Year 3 and 4 • Three are three main final judgements – Working Towards, Expected or Greater Depth Secure e.g. 3E, 3D, 3S, 3M • To judge that a pupil is working above age related expectations (GDS), the child must be incorporating ALL of the statements within their writing.

  7. What is SPAG? • SPAG stands for ‘Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar’ • In Year 3 and 4, SPaG is embedded into all English lessons • Children are expected to move away from phonetically plausible spellings • Common exception words are expected to be spelt correctly
