I am currently ICT teacher who teaches Kindergarten to Y6. Here is an assessment KS2 students (Y5/6). I made my own assessment rubric as I found ones online but they were not specific enough. - 3 prong student assessment rubric (mastering, developing, beginning) Could be easily adapted for Y3/4 but I tend to do animations for these years.
