Supermarket Self Assessment Sheet

1. Resource Overview

Which Supermarket Is Your Answer? is a visual assessment and reflection resource designed to help pupils recognise the characteristics of effective written responses and take practical steps to improve their work.

Using three familiar supermarket brands, the resource provides an accessible analogy for different levels of answer development.

Key message: A Waitrose answer is not necessarily the longest answer. It is the answer that responds fully to the question using accurate vocabulary, relevant detail and clear explanations.

The supermarket analogy is a memorable teaching tool, not a formal grading system. It should be used alongside subject-specific success criteria and examination mark schemes where appropriate.
