Save time with these comprehensive Year 6 Writing Assessment Rubrics, designed to support the National Curriculum for England and the end-of-KS2 Teacher Assessment Framework (TAF).

This resource includes genre-specific success criteria for Narrative, Newspaper Report, Diary, Non-Chronological Report, Biography, Persuasive Writing, Discussion, Setting Description, Letter Writing and Explanation Texts. Each rubric is organised into Composition (Structure & Organisation), Grammar & Vocabulary, Punctuation and Handwriting, reflecting the key skills and expectations pupils should develop by the end of Year 6.

The criteria are designed to support pupils in working towards the Year 6 end-of-primary writing expectations, including writing effectively for purpose and audience, developing ideas coherently, using grammar and vocabulary deliberately, applying punctuation accurately and maintaining fluent, legible handwriting.

With self-assessment and teacher assessment checklists, these rubrics are ideal for formative assessment, peer assessment, independent editing, writing moderation, assessment evidence and end-of-unit writing tasks. They provide teachers with a consistent, accessible assessment tool while helping pupils understand and take ownership of the expectations for writing at the end of Key Stage 2.
