EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Pupil Information) (England) Regulations 2005, the Education (School Performance Information) (England) Regulations 2007 and the School Information (England) Regulations 2008.

The effect of the amendments is three-fold. First, they replace the concept of National Curriculum “levels” with “standards” and “scores”. Second, they replace references to “P-level” with “P Scale” and update certain definitions, including “P Scale” and “P Scale Document”, to reflect the requirements of the new National Curriculum. Third, they alter the information which a governing body is required to publish on the school’s website in relation to key stage 2, to reflect the position under the new National Curriculum.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
