To assess the curriculum You need to be clear about what the curriculum is
Target Maps have assisting hundreds of schools across the country with the new national curriculum - making assessment simple, structured and engaging.

For each year group within each subject there is a colourful map featuring up to 50 target statements. Each target is written as an “I can” statement and in child-friendly language so assessing pupil progress is easy.
Focused Learning
Target Maps show OFSTED that children engage with focused target and goal setting and that your school personalises learning.
In addition, schools who use these maps report increased confidence in teacher assessment with this clear, structured assessment system.

5 EXCITING THEMES
Reading Targets
Set with an Egyptian pyramid theme, our reading target sheet features targets for ‘word’ and ‘comprehension’ strands. As with the writing targets, there is also an ‘exceeding’ section, where children, parents and teachers can view more challenging targets for that year group.
Writing Targets
Our space themed writing assessment sheets is split into ‘spelling’, ‘composition’, ‘handwriting’ and ‘vocab, grammar & punctuation’ planets. There is also a section for pupil ‘exceeding’ year expectations. As with all our target sheets, appeals to both genders, and in particular has encouraged reluctant boy writers.
Mathematics Targets
Each Year group is split up into seven islands – Number and place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, measurement, fractions, geometry and statistics (not for Year 1). As well as allowing teachers to give pupils personalised targets to achieve, they also give a useful overview of the whole national curriculum year group.
Science Targets
Each content domain is included and each science target is directly from the new national curriculum for science and reworked concisely, without losing the specificity of the statement.
Art Progression
With these Art Targets, show real progression in art skills across the whole school and ensure that art lessons are increasingly challenging through children's journey in school.
All Years
Our Target Maps in all the core subjects are for Years 1 to 6 ensuring coverage through KS1 and KS2.

Teachers
Target Maps clearly show teachers what must be taught, and have boxes for ticks or dates for evidence building. The ‘Exceeding’ section on the maps suggests ways to challenge the more able. For leaders, the work to ensure coverage of the National Curriculum has been done for you.
I am a great advocate of Target Maps and which ever school I train or work in I would recommend the concise, teacher and child friendly referencing as an effective tool for tracking and ensuring progress in line with the new national curriculum.
