Article 5 Standard task assessment

Subject to article 10 each pupil shall be assessed during the summer term in accordance with the provisions of this article, and such an assessment shall be known as a “SAT assessment”.

SATs published on behalf of the Secretary of State by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office pursuant to article 11 shall be administered to the pupil during the first half of the summer term in accordance with the provisions of the document in which they are published.

An assessment based on the pupil’s response (including written and oral work) to the SATs shall be made, and the result thereof recorded, not later than the end of the first half of that term.

The record of the results shall consist of a statement of each level of attainment achieved by the pupil in relation to each relevant attainment target in a core subject.

In paragraph (4) “relevant attainment target” means any attainment target in any core subject in which the SATs enable achievement to be assessed.

For the purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3) any period of half-term holiday shall be treated as part of the term.
