NACE Assessment Audit©

The NACE Assessment Audit© provides a quality framework to support schools’ evaluation of assessment aims, practices, and the extent to which there is consistent whole-school implementation with a resulting positive impact on pupils’ learning and achievement.

It complements the NACE Curriculum Audit© and is aligned with the requirements of Ofsted, National Professional Qualifications and the Early Career Framework, providing a comprehensive quality framework for school leaders to review their assessment aims, implementation and the impact on pupils' learning and achievement, with an additional focus on the impact of assessment of more able learners.

The audit document is organised into four parts: intent (aims and principles), implementation (whole school/departmental level), implementation (classroom level) and impact. Each section provides statements against which to audit current policy and practice on a 1-5 scale. In secondary schools, the assessment audit could also be completed by heads of department to gain a subject-level perspective. For each key statement, suggested sources of evidence are provided, along with key questions for more able provision. These can be used to support the formation of evaluation judgements, and findings in each case can be used to form an assessment action plan and inform revision of the school assessment, marking and feedback policies. 

The audit is available in English or Welsh language editions.
