Explanatory note

This Order amends the Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 1 Assessment Arrangements) (England) Order 1999. That Order specifies the assessment arrangements for the core subjects in the final year of the first key stage. The only change made to those regulations is the introduction of a statutory duty on the part of the head teacher to provide a signed statement to the local education authority confirming that the assessment arrangement test and tasks were administered in accordance with the provisions of the document in which they were published.
