(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Education (Individual Pupils' Achievements) (Information) (Wales) Regulations 1997. Regulation 3(6) of, and Schedule 3 to, those Regulations contain a requirement for the head teacher’s report to include comparative information about the educational achievements of pupils at schools in Wales. The amendment in these Regulations extends that requirement to include a figure for the percentages of certain registered pupils in the final year of the second and third key stages who were not entered for National Curriculum tests (regulation 2).
