Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Education (School Performance Information) (England) Regulations 2001 to reflect changes made to the assessment requirements for Key Stage 1 under the Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 1 Assessment Arrangements) (England) Order 2004. This amendment requires schools to provide local education authorities with the information specified in the Assessment and Reporting Arrangements Document for Key Stage 1. This refers to teacher assessment of each pupil’s level of attainment in English, mathematics and science.
