Article 6 Determination of level of attainment by assessments
Subject to article 10 the provisions of this article regulate the application of the results of teacher and SAT assessments in order to determine a pupil’s level of attainment in each attainment target for the purposes of article 7.
Where the results of the teacher assessment and the SAT assessment are the same, the level of attainment determined by those assessments shall be the level for the purposes of article 7;
where the SAT does not enable achievement to be assessed in relation to any attainment target the level of attainment determined by the teacher assessment shall be the level for the purposes of article 7;
where the results of the teacher assessment and the SAT assessment are different, subject to paragraph (3) the level of attainment determined by the SAT assessment shall be the level for the purposes of article 7.
If, in the circumstances to which paragraph (2)(c) applies, the application of the level of attainment determined by the teacher assessment in accordance with article 7 would produce a different profile component level from that which such an application of the level determined by the SAT assessment would produce, the level of attainment determined by the teacher assessment shall, if the local education authority (in the case of a school which the authority maintain) or SEAC (in the case of a grant-maintained school) determine that it represents the more accurate assessment of the pupil’s achievements, be the level for the purposes of article 7.
