When making a judgment about the level a pupil has achieved it is important to remember that it is nearly impossible to determine their overall level from a single piece of work.

Moderating judgments against an ICT portfolio of a sample of pupils’ work is a valuable approach to help inform the agreed standards of work across the school. Samples should be drawn from all areas of ICT and all levels.

Communicating Information (Exchanging and sharing information)
Examples showing how pupils present and share ideas using text, tables, images and sounds, amending and combining different forms of information from a variety of sources.

Examples showing how pupils recognise, plan and give instructions to make things respond to signals and make simple choices when using and controlling devices.
Modelling (Developing ideas and making things happen)
Examples showing how pupils explore real and imaginary scenarios, ICT-based models or simulations to help them find things out and solve problems
