New Assessment sub levels (1a, 2c, 2b, 2b, 3c...) have been removed So: year 2 (and year 6 SATS) – stays the same, but for this year only. year 1 phonics (and for year 2 children who re-take it) – stays the same. Reception curriculum and assessment – stays the same. year 1 – new assessment framework. We are very clear as to what we are assessing and how it will be recorded

New Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Significant changes: greater choice, greater control, greater accountability health, social care and education working together EHCP and School SEN Need EHCP: co-produced with children and families ISP – individual support plan replaces the IEP But what won’t change is our attention to detail to support children who need additional help.
