KEY STAGE 1

There is now no statutory requirement to carry out end of Key Stage 1 (KS1) teacher assessment (TA). However, the STA is continuing to develop and supply materials for the optional end of KS1 tests. The end of KS1 teacher assessment frameworks are also still available for use to support teachers in making crucial end of key stage assessment judgements. There is no requirement to use these or report results to parents or the Local Authority, and they will not be used for school accountability purposes.

Although external Key Stage 1 moderation is no longer statutory, moderation remains good practice. If you require support with moderation please contact the LNI working with your school for advice.

Administration of the Phonics Screening Check remains statutory.
