Raising achievement

QCA extended scale

To accurately assess early progress in English the QCA guidance provides step descriptors for assessing attainment in English before National Curriculum Level 1 (called Step 1 and Step 2) and two further descriptions for attainment within Level 1, these being Level 1 Threshold and Level 1 Secure. The descriptors are suitable for all learning phases.
