Article 4 Teacher assessment

Each pupil shall be assessed by a teacher during the spring term in accordance with the provisions of this article, and such an assessment shall be known as a “teacher assessment”.

The purpose of the assessment shall be to determine the level of attainment achieved by the pupil in relation to each attainment target specified for each core subject in relation to the first key stage which applies to him.

The teacher shall not later than 31st March during or (as the case may be) immediately after the end of the spring term mentioned in paragraph (1) assess the pupil and record the results of the assessment.

The record of the results shall consist of a statement of each level of attainment achieved by the pupil in relation to every attainment target mentioned in paragraph (2).

In making an assessment of a pupil pursuant to paragraph (1) a teacher may take into account the results of any previous assessments of the pupil (whether or not made by that teacher).
