Primary
Notice
Submitting answers to reading and listening tests has been changed for Primary candidates
With effect from November 2011, candidates will transfer their answers from their question paper to a separate answer sheet (OMR) before returning them to OCR for marking. The answer sheets will be sent to centres pre-printed with candidate details.
Full instructions on Using Candidate OMR Answer Sheets can be found on pages 81 and 82 of the Asset Languages Admin Guide 2011/12 (PDF, 1 MB).
If you are looking for something to reward and benchmark progress in primary languages, Asset Languages celebrates what children achieve in small steps, one skill at a time.
It measures progress as children move through the school, encouraging continuity from one class to the next. Asset provides you with important evidence of the levels of competence your children have achieved on a national scale of measurement. Giving children tangible feedback, whether it's based on language lessons taught as part of the curriculum or in after-school or lunchtime clubs, is a great motivator.
By rewarding children and providing a benchmark in primaries, Asset also helps to smooth transition between KS2 and KS3 language learning.
One in seven primary children speaks a language other than English at home. As Asset is available for such a wide range of languages, you can use the scheme to give recognition to children learning a new language or for those children who have community language skills.
