This document provides guidance on the progression of skills in writing.

Some of the assessment criteria are written in bold - this signifies that they are key criteria for the age group in question.

Summative judgements about the 'step' in which children are working need to take into account all of the key aspects of writing in equal measure.

To be working securely within age-related expectations, there needs to be a strong balance of skills, including Effect on audience, Sentence structure and punctuation, Text organisation, Handwriting and Spelling (particularly focusing on the bold statements).
