Moderation report from 2021-22
DfE/STA announce Statutory Assessment normal in 2022-23
last year of KS1 Statutory Assessment
no more KS2 Science Sampling
NOTE Bank Holiday announced for May 8 2023, Coronation celebrations, Test week timetable revised
Ministers have considered the situation carefully and have decided that KS2 tests will take place in the same week with tests following the usual order but each taking place one day later than originally planned. As such, the new schedule will be:
Tuesday 9 May: English grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) papers 1 (questions) and 2 (spelling)
Wednesday 10 May: English reading paper
Thursday 11 May: mathematics papers 1 (arithmetic) and 2 (reasoning)
Friday 12 May: mathematics paper 3 (reasoning)
when opening test bags on the day take time to check you have correct test papers for that day.
Where it is not possible to change plans in this way then, exceptionally for 2023, we will approve applications for TTVs arising from booked residentials, trips or similar events scheduled for Friday 12 May only. Schools will need to reschedule the date of the test (mathematics paper 3) for the affected pupils to one of the following five school days.
