This report sets out the recommendations of the independent Rochford Review group. It follows the publication in December 2015 of the Rochford Review바카라 사이트™s interim recommendations.
The final report바카라 사이트™s recommendations include:
- the removal of the statutory requirement to assess pupils with SEND who are working below the standard using performance scales (P scales)
- that the interim pre-key stage standards for pupils working below the standard of national curriculum tests are made permanent and extended to include all pupils engaged in subject-specific learning
- that schools assess pupils바카라 사이트™ development in all 4 areas of need outlined in the SEND Code of Practice, but statutory assessment for pupils who are not engaged in subject-specific learning should be limited to the area of cognition and learning
We will consult on the report바카라 사이트™s recommendations in early 2017. Final decisions will be made following that consultation.
In the meantime schools should continue to use the pre-key stage standards and P scales for the statutory assessment of pupils working below the standard of the national curriculum tests.
The interim pre-key stage standards for key stage 1 and key stage 2 and more information about the review group are also available.
