Please remember that for KS2 teacher assessments are statutory for all the following subjects if the pupil is working below the standard of the test: reading, writing, mathematics and science.

The DfE have published guidance on submitting KS2 teacher assessments via the Primary Assessment Gateway (PAG).

KS2 TA frameworks and pre-key stage TA frameworks are available here Primary guidance – Support for schools and settings (devon.gov.uk)

New Starters

If a pupil changes school:

• before test week – the receiving school must submit TA data for them
• during test week – the school where the pupil was registered at the beginning of test week must submit TA data for them
• after test week – the school where the pupil was registered during test week must submit TA data for them

If a pupil arrives during test week from a non-participating school or was electively home educated (EHE), the receiving school must submit the TA data for them. If the pupil arrives after test week, they can no longer be registered for the tests, so data will not be expected.
