Assessment and Reporting at Key Stage 4
Communication
KS4 requires pupils to carry forward, develop further and apply the skills and capabilities that they have been developing during KS3. The descriptors for skills and capabilities at KS4 (below) build upon the detail of the KS3 descriptors and reflect the additional requirements for KS4.
Teachers should enable pupils to develop skills in:
- communicating meaning, feelings and viewpoints in a logical and coherent manner;
- making oral and written summaries, reports and presentations, which take account of audience and purpose;
- participating in discussions, debates and interviews;
- interpreting, analysing and presenting information in oral, written and ICT formats;
- exploring and responding, both imaginatively and critically, to a variety of texts.
