2 Sample Key Stage 2 levels 3–5 English grammar, punctuation and spelling mark schemes

IntroductionThe Standards and Testing Agency (STA) is responsible for the development and delivery of statutory tests and assessments. STA is an executive agency of the Department for Education (DfE).

This booklet contains the mark schemes for the levels 3–5 test, which consists of the short answer questions and the spelling task. These mark schemes are supplied to teachers for information and in the live tests will be used by expert markers. No level thresholds are available for this test as the standards will be set following the first live test in 2013. A performance descriptor for levels 3–5 English grammar, punctuation and spelling will be written prior to the standards setting meeting.

This test contains a total of 70 marks. The short answer test contains a total of 50 marks. The spelling task contains a total of 20 marks.

The original mark schemes were written alongside the questions, but many examples used in the mark schemes were subsequently taken from trialling scripts. The mark schemes indicate the criteria on which judgements should be made. In applying these principles, markers use professional judgement based on the training they have received.

The English grammar, punctuation and spelling test assesses elements of the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum. Details about what is assessed in this test are presented in this mark scheme. Further information about which elements are assessed can be found in the English grammar, punctuation and spelling task framework at www.education.gov.uk/KS2.

The English grammar, punctuation and spelling test mark schemesThe structure of the short answer mark scheme

The marking information for each question is set out in the form of tables, which start on page 10 of this booklet.

The ‘Question’ column on the left-hand side of each table provides a reference to the question number and question part. This column also gives a reference linking it to the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum.

The ‘Mark’ column indicates the total number of marks available for each question part.

The ‘Requirement’ column may include two types of information:

■ A statement of the requirements for the award of each mark, shown by a square bullet.

• Examples of some different types of correct response, shown by a bullet and italic formatting.

The ‘Additional guidance’ column provides information about any alternative acceptable responses, as well as an explanation of responses that are not acceptable.

General guidance on marking the spelling task is given on page 18.

Application of the short answer mark scheme

In order to ensure consistency of marking, the most frequent procedural queries are listed on pages 7 and 8 along with guidance about what markers should do. Unless otherwise specified in the mark scheme, markers will apply the guidance in all cases.

Mark allocation in the English grammar, punctuation and spelling test

Marking specific types of short answer questionSummary of additional guidance

The following guidance applies to all questions in the short answer component. Please read this carefully before applying the individual mark schemes.

Question type Accept Do not accept

Tick boxes Any unambiguous indication of the correct answer, eg:

■ The box is crossed rather than ticked

■ The correct answer is circled rather than ticked.

Responses in which more than the required number of boxes has been ticked.

Underlining clauses / phrases / other text

Underlining of the full required text, with or without surrounding punctuation.

Responses in which more than half of a required word is underlined.

Responses in which only part of the required text, or less than half of a required word, is underlined.

Responses in which any additional words are underlined.

Circling of the answer Any unambiguous indication of the correct answer, eg:

■ The answer is underlined

■ The answer is enclosed within a box.

Responses in which more than the required number of words has been circled.

Responses in which the correct answer is encircled, together with surrounding words.

Drawing lines to ‘match’ boxes

Lines that do not touch the boxes, provided the intention is clear.

Multiple lines drawn to / from the same box (unless this is a question requirement).

Labelling of parts of speech

Clear labels, whether they use the full vocabulary required by the question or an unambiguous abbreviation, eg: ‘V’ for ‘verb’.

Ambiguity in labelling, eg: the use of ‘noun’ or ‘CN’ where a distinction is required between ‘collective noun’ and ‘common noun’.

Short answer questions: further marking guidance

What if... Accept

...the answer is correct but spelling is inaccurate?

Where no specific mark scheme guidance is given, incorrect spellings of the correct response are creditworthy, provided the intention is clear to the marker. The single exception to this is when marking contractions, which must have correct spelling and placement of apostrophes.

In any other questions in which correct spelling is required in order to assess pupils’ understanding of the curriculum focus, mark scheme guidance will state the need for correct spelling, and will list any acceptable alternatives.

If specific grammatical terminology is required in the answer, a misspelling must, in order to be creditworthy, be a phonetic approximation of the required word, with the major syllables of the correct word represented in the answer.

…the pupil’s response does not match closely any of the examples given?

Illustrative examples of pupil responses to questions are sometimes given; however, markers will use the marking principles to make a judgement about the award of marks. If uncertain, markers will escalate the issue to a more senior colleague.

…no answer is given in the expected place, but the correct answer is given elsewhere?

If a pupil leaves an answer box empty, but then writes their response elsewhere, it is still creditworthy, providing:

■ It meets any relevant criteria in this guidance and in the question-specific mark scheme

■ It is not contradicted by any other attempt at the answer written elsewhere. (See ‘…more than one answer is given’.)

This includes where pupils ‘fill in the blank’ within a question when they are expected to write or tick their answer below it.

…the correct answer has been crossed out and not replaced?

Any legible crossed-out work that has not been replaced will be marked according to the mark scheme.

If the answer has been replaced by a further attempt, the crossed-out work will not be considered.

…more than one answer is given?

If all answers given are correct according to the mark scheme, the mark will be awarded.

If both correct and incorrect responses are given, no mark will be awarded.

18 Sample Key Stage 2 levels 3–5 English grammar, punctuation and spelling mark schemes

Spelling task mark schemeGuidance for marking the spelling component

The following conventions should be followed when marking spelling:

■ If more than one attempt is made, it must be clear which version the pupil wishes to be marked.

■ If two attempts are made and it is not clear which one is to be considered, the mark is not awarded.

■ Spellings can be written in upper or lower case, or a mixture of the two.

■ If a word has been written with the correct sequence of letters but these have been separated into clearly divided components, with or without a dash, the mark is not awarded.

■ If a word has been written with the correct sequence of letters but an apostrophe or hyphen has been inserted, the mark is not awarded.
