Details
Teachers should use pre-key stage standards for those pupils working below the standard of key stage 2 but are engaged in subject specific study. The use of this guidance will further support teacher assessment judgments.
Where pupils are not engaged in subject specific study the engagement model should be used.
This guidance is available for use from academic year 2020-21 onwards.
Pre-key stage standards are for pupils who are working below the overall standard of national curriculum assessments, but who are engaged in subject-specific study.
