These Regulations are made to correct a defect in the Education (School Performance Targets) (England) Regulations 2004 (SI 2004/2858).
These Regulations amend the earlier Regulations by inserting words erroneously omitted from regulation 4(2). The words make clear that targets in respect of pupils taking the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum tests and teacher assessments are to be set by schools in the school year before the pupils are due to take the tests.
These Regulations will be issued free of charge to all known recipients of S.I. 2004/2858.
