Article 3 provides that the Order shall apply in relation to pupils in the final year of key stages 1, 2 and 3 in all grant-aided schools and for the exemption of pupils from the assessment arrangements in certain specified cases.
Article 4 requires the principal of a school to make arrangements for pupils who are in the final year of key stage 1, 2 or 3 to be assessed and for the provision of assessment results for these pupils to be reported to NICCEA and to parents.
