A head teacher may direct that the requirement in section 17(1) of the Act (all pupils who are at the relevant stage to be assessed) is not to apply to a pupil if, at the time of the direction,—

(a)

a statement of the child’s special educational needs is being maintained by a local education authority in respect of the pupil pursuant to section 324 of the 1996 Act; and

(b)

in the opinion of the head teacher, a baseline assessment in relation to the pupil would not add materially to the information available to the school as a result of the assessment of his educational needs made by the authority.
