(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which applies only to schools in Wales, revokes and replaces the Education (National Curriculum) (Assessment Arrangements for English, Welsh, Mathematics and Science) (Key Stage 2) (Wales) Order 1997 (as amended). It specifies the assessment arrangements for pupils studying English, Welsh (as a first language), mathematics and science in the final year of the second key stage.
Article 2 revokes the 1997 Order (as amended).
Article 3 contains definitions of terms used in the Order.
Article 4 provides for pupils to be assessed by a teacher and sets out the purpose as such assessment.
Article 5 sets out the technical rules for determining a pupil’s levels of attainment subject by subject.
Article 6 sets out special rules which apply in relation to pupils who are not subject to provisions of the National Curriculum (including pupils with statements of special educational needs).
Article 7 requires arrangements to be made for the evaluation of the assessment arrangements.
Article 8 enables the National Assembly to make provision giving effect to or otherwise supplementing the provisions made by the Order.
The only changes of substance made by the current Order is that it no longer makes provision for pupil tests. Accordingly, articles 5 and 6 of the 1997 Order are not re-enacted.
