Benchmarks exemplification
Benchmarks can provide clarity about the standards children and young people are expected to achieve. They support teachers’ professional judgement of learners’ achievement of a level and the gathering of assessment data for the National Improvement Framework.
Before using the Benchmarks, you are encouraged to watch the benchmarks exemplification videos and read the case studies. These provide some early insights into how practitioners and schools are beginning to engage with the benchmarks.
The videos show practitioners talking about moderation and evidence of achievement of a level. The accompanying case study describes how a school has streamlined and simplified approaches to planning and assessment as a result of the benchmarks.

Practitioners should begin to familiarise themselves with the Benchmarks through using them to support assessment as appropriate in their local contexts, and taking account of current school improvement priorities.
HM Inspectors will be interested in practitioners’ awareness of the Benchmarks and how they are starting to use them, but will not expect immediate implementation.
