(This note is not part of the Order)
The National Curriculum (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (Wales) Order 2004 ("the 2004 Order") specifies the assessment arrangements for the second key stage and the National Curriculum (Key Stage 3 Assessment Arrangements) (Wales) Order 2005 ("the 2005 Order") specifies the assessment arrangements for the third key stage.
The 2004 Order and the 2005 Order place a duty on teachers to assess pupils in schools in Wales no later than two weeks before the end of the summer term. This Order amends that provision of the 2004 Order and the 2005 Order so that pupils must be assessed no later than twenty working days before the end of the summer term.
