(This note is not part of the Order)
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.
S.I. 1999/1236, to which there are amendments not relevant to this Order.
As at the date this Order is made, the document is entitled "Key Stage 1 1999 Assessment and Reporting Arrangements" (reference number QCA/98/262) and is published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, which body was established under section 21 of the Education Act 1997 (c. 44). The document can be obtained through QCA Publications, PO Box 99, Sudbury, Suffolk CO10 2SN.
