Hot on assessment

Our current research focus is assessment and we'd like teachers' views on the following.

• When and how do you prepare pupils for the tests at the end of the key stage?
• On average, how much school time is spent on direct preparation for all the end of key stage tests?
• On average, how much homework is set in specific preparation for all the end of key stage tests?
• How has the amount of time devoted to test preparation in your school changed over the past ten years?
• In your opinion, how reliable are teacher assessment judgments compared with the results of the national tests?
