    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

    • Writers who have not reached the spelling fluency and accuracy described in the curriculum for the end of KS2 are typically less likely to have made good progress in other areas of writing, such as composing well-structured sentences.
    • Research suggests that spelling fluency and accuracy are essential for good progress in writing.
