If RE departments are to measure progress, they must do so on the basis of data. The RE Baseline Assessment provides the data you will need to show your students are making progress in a simple and easily understood way.

The assessment is in two parts, focusing on key skills for RE students. Part one is a multiple choice test that assesses students' awareness of world religions, practices and names, based on homework tasks that are supplied with the assessment. Part two of the assessment focuses on reading and interpreting a text. Appended to the tests are comprehensive teachers pages that explain how to use the data to plot progress on into ages 11-14, using a tried and tested formula which actually delivers exactly what most heads of departments and students need : clear evidence of progress year on year. The evidence gathered can provide clear proof of progress for staff passing through the performance threshold. RE Baseline Assessment has been based on the best selling History and Geography Baseline Assessments, used by hundreds of schools across the UK. One feature of the assessment that has proved popular with many staff is the mutliple choice marking grids that allow each 50 question script to be marked in less than 10 seconds. So, RE Baseline Assessment, worth buying? Yes! Why?

• It provides clear proof of progress
• It supports staff overburdened with assessment
• It provides staff with evidence for their threshold assessment
