Key Stage 1 Key Stage 1 has changed little since last year However the code “NOTSEN” should be used to report teacher assessments for a child working below level 1 who does not have a special educational need. “NOTSEN” replaces the code “EAL” that was used in previous years. For schools that have signed up to the Data Team’s SLA, we will produce your reports to parents.

Pupils Starting/Leaving School EYFSP and KS1 If a child starts a new school before the summer half-term holiday, the new school must report the results to the LA. If a child starts a new school during the second half of the summer term, the old school must report the results. This includes pupils who transfer to a new school during the holiday.

Key Stage 2 continued Level 3-5 and Level 6 tests. The code “NOTSEN” should be used to report teacher assessments for a child working below level 1 who does not have a special educational need. “NOTSEN ” replaces the code “EAL” that was used in previous years.

Pupils Starting/Leaving School Key Stage 2 For a pupil who transfers from one school to another in the summer term, it is the responsibility of the school at which the pupil was enrolled when the tests were administered to submit the teacher assessments. This may require the school to obtain teacher assessments from the pupil’s previous school.

Dually Registered Pupils Children attending a pupil referral unit or hospital school are not subject to assessment. Children still on the register at a maintained school but studying at a pupil referral unit or hospital school are required to be assessed, and the results should be reported by the home school.

Good Practice - Reminders Plan your time, agree a date with your teaching staff when the data is likely to be ready Ensure any changes agreed in the moderation, have been made Ensure that all the pupils have been accounted for (including those who have recently left or are dually registered) Check for pupils leaving in the summer term Ask the teacher(s) to check your data before it is submitted.
