EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations make amendments to various regulations consequential on the National Curriculum (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (Wales) Order 2004. That Order specifies the assessment arrangements for pupils studying English, Welsh (as a first language), mathematics and science in the final year of the second key stage. It removes the requirement for tests to be administered to those pupils, so that their levels of attainment are determined by teacher assessments. These Regulations substitute references to these tests with references to teacher assessments and make other consequential amendments in the following Regulations  -  the Education (School Performance and Unauthorised Absence Targets) (Wales) Regulations 1999, the Education (School Information) (Wales) Regulations 1999, the Education (School Performance Information) (Wales) Regulations 2004 and the Education (Pupil Information) (Wales) Regulations 2004.
