19. “Thank you for contacting us about what will be assessed in the National Curriculum tests from 2014. The tests must reflect the current statutory curriculum only, I can confirm that we cannot use anything from the draft curriculum as a basis for test content until 2016 at the earliest. As you mention in your message to us, this will mean that students ending Key Stage 2 in 2015 will be taught under the new curriculum for the academic year 2014-15, but assessed under the old curriculum in 2015.”

20. Hot off the press...... Announced on 14 th June;... As part of our reforms to the national curriculum, the current system of ‘levels’ used to report children’s attainment and progress will be removed. It will not be replaced. Prescribing a single detailed approach to assessment does not fit with the curriculum freedoms we are giving schools.

21. Schools will be able to introduce their own approaches to formative assessment, to support pupil attainment and progression. The assessment framework should be built into the school curriculum, so that schools can check what pupils have learned and whether they are on track to meet expectations at the end of the key stage, and so that they can report regularly to parents.

22. Ofsted’s inspections will be informed by whatever pupil tracking data schools choose to keep. Schools will continue to benchmark their performance through statutory end of key stage assessments, including national curriculum tests. In the consultation on primary assessment and accountability, the department will consult on core principles for a school’s curriculum and assessment system.

23. Although schools will be free to devise their own curriculum and assessment system, we will provide examples of good practice which schools may wish to follow. Outstanding schools and teaching schools have an opportunity to take the lead in developing and sharing curriculum and assessment systems which meet the needs of their pupils. http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/nationalcurriculum2014/ a00225864/assessing-without-levels
