International GCSE Art and Design Taxonomy
How to use the Taxonomy in conjunction with the Assessment Grid
Both components in this qualification are 100% externally assessed, however centres will find it helpful to use the
taxonomy and assessment grid to provide feedback on student’s progress.
• When assessing work for each component, teachers should make a holistic judgement using the descriptors in the taxonomy, to
establish which performance band matches most closely the candidate’s work.
• Candidate’s work that falls between two performance bands must achieve all the keyword descriptors in the lower band and some in
the band above. Where this happens, teachers must use their professional judgement to decide which performance band is most
appropriate using a ‘best-fit’ approach.
• After a performance band has been established, the next stage is to use the assessment grid to decide a mark within the performance
band. Read through ‘Applying the Assessment Grid’ on page 41 of the specification prior to establishing a mark for each assessment
objective and total mark.

Notes for teachers:
• When presenting work on the 4 x A2 mountboards please be aware that work may be presented on
one side only.
• 3 of the mountboards are for the preparatory work and 1 is for the outcome/s.
• The preparatory boards 1 to 3 do not relate directly to the AOs 1 to 3.
• Work may be placed on the boards as a chronological work ‘journey’ and divided as appropriate to
include initial research/stimulus, ideas development and analysis, review and refinement of ideas.
• Work presented on the boards may not overlap, have flaps, mini-sketchbooks, etc. attached.
• To ensure fairness to all learners, centres are advised to follow the above guidelines.
