Study Notes
Particular Weakness in Achievement
- A particular weakness refers to a pupil's weakness in achieving a specific statement or part of a statement, despite being taught the relevant aspect of the programme of study.
- A teacher's professional judgment about whether the pupil has met the standard overall takes precedence over the need for the pupil to meet all 'pupil can' statements if a particular weakness is identified.
Identifying Particular Weaknesses
- A teacher must justify their decision about a particular weakness with evidence during moderation.
- The moderator should scrutinize whether there is good reason to reach this judgment.
Particular Weakness in Spelling
- A particular weakness in spelling should be evident in a pupil's work, as well as in additional assessment records and spelling exercises.
- Lack of fluency in transcription, including spelling, can inhibit progression in writing.
Impact on Writing Progress
