Yeah, I think Chris' point is valid, it's not so much "are they ready for the next level?" which we know cos they've just finished the last one, more "what are we going to have to concentrate on to make sure they do the best they can on the next level?" particularly if they're getting a different teacher. Would probably go a bit lighter if it's, eg, a small community/school group with the same tutor who knows them well, but would still want *something* I think?

Initial Assessment ESOL
Created
We are currently having a dispute! I have as Curriculum Manager who is speaking to another provider. The other provider has advised that they do not need to carry out an IA for returning ESOL learners. In year I agree as they will have the result of the previous level of learning to progression on to the next level, however, if a learner completes in one academic year and returns later in the next academic year I always felt that an auditor would look for recent evidence of an assessment for that period of learning, not something from the previous academic year. Am I being too rigid? The rules are too woolly or am I missing something somewhere?
Thanks
