2017 Primary Assessment

The STA (Standards and Testing Agency) have provided a statement about potential changes to Primary Assessment in 2017. A summary follows and for further information and a full briefing you can follow this link. 

"We won’t be introducing any significant changes to testing or assessment before the 2018 to 2019 academic year."

• Statutory mathematics and English reading resits for children arriving in Year 7 will not be introduced
• Instead, we will focus on the steps needed to ensure a child catches up any lost ground
• High quality resit papers will be made available for teachers to use, if they choose to, as part of their ongoing assessments
• It is still intended that a mathematics multiplication tables check will be introduced, but not before the 2018 to 2019 academic year, at the earliest
