Details

From the academic year 2023 to 2024, there will be no statutory requirement for schools to carry out end of KS1 teacher assessment. Schools may wish to continue using teacher assessment to inform classroom practice.

The teacher assessment frameworks contain ‘pupil can’ statements for English reading, English writing, mathematics and science. Teachers can follow the guidance for each subject in the frameworks when making their judgements.
