# The Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stages 1, 2 and 3 Assessment Arrangements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2011, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends three Education (National Curriculum) (Assessment Arrangements) Orders which specify the assessment arrangements for the first, second and third key stages of the National Curriculum for England. The amendments substitute references to the Secretary of State for references to the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (“the QCDA”). The Secretary of State is establishing the Standards and Testing Agency (an executive agency of the Department for Education), which will be taking on some responsibilities of the QCDA from 1st October 2011. The amendments reflect that change. The Secretary of State consulted with the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation and the QCDA before making this Order in accordance with section 87(6A) of the Education Act 2002.
An impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as impacts on business, charities, voluntary bodies and the public sector will be minimal.
