Kitchen Programme · Portfolio Evidence Sheets

Per unit · per level · assessor + learner + date · IQA sample box (spec §10)

What this is. One portfolio evidence sheet per unit per level: the cover record the spec requires — explicit evidence per criterion, signed and dated by assessor and learner, IQA box where sampled (spec §10 p17). The witness Level tick carries the barred-combination rule: each pupil banks each skill at ONE level only (§6.5).
