Regulation 6 Report when pupil changes school
Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5) where a pupil ceases to be a registered pupil at a maintained school (his “old” school) and becomes a registered pupil at another school (his “new” school), the head teacher of the pupil’s old school shall at the time referred to in paragraph (3) send to the head teacher of his new school a report about the pupil containing the information referred to in paragraph (2).
The information is—
subject to paragraph (6), the subject and attainment target levels achieved by the pupil in each of the relevant subjects (other than art, music and physical education) shown by his most recent and all previous assessments (where available) specifying teacher, NC test and NC task assessed levels;
Where the pupil has been assessed under the statutory arrangements in the final year of the third key stage, the result of teacher assessment of the pupil’s achievements in relation to the end of key stage descriptions specified for the attainment target or targets in relation to art, music and physical education; and
the results of any public examination taken and details of vocational qualifications achieved by him (including results of such examinations taken and details of such qualifications achieved, when the pupil was a registered pupil at another maintained school).
The head teacher of the pupil’s old school shall send the report within 15 school days of the pupil’s ceasing to be registered at the school.
This regulation does not apply where it is not reasonably practicable for the head teacher of the old school to ascertain the pupil’s new school, nor where the pupil was registered at his old school for less than four weeks.
Notwithstanding paragraph (4) if the head teacher of the pupil’s old school receives at any time a request from the head teacher of the pupil’s new school for a report about the pupil he shall send one containing the information referred to in paragraph (2) within 15 school days of receiving the request.
In the case of technology in the third key stage, the reference in paragraph (2)(a) above to the pupil’s subject level shall be read as a reference to the overall level achieved by the pupil in “Design and Technology”.
