Pupils generally select between one and five subjects to study in depth. Grade A scores 10 points, B eight, C six, D four and E two. Baseline Assessment Teacher's assessment of a child's skills and abilities within the first seven weeks of starting primary school in England and Wales. All children aged four or five admitted to a primary, infant, first or special school need to be assessed.
Areas covered include language and literacy, maths and personal and social development.
Baseline assessment will eventually run in conjunction with Key Stage tests to determine how much progress the child has made. There are four optional language papers, although some schools require Latin. The papers are set centrally but marked internally by the school. Desirable Learning Outcome A set of learning goals for children when they reach compulsory school age. Disapplied The term applied to the small number of children who are unable to take part in some or all of the Key Stage assessment arrangements due to special educational needs.
