The Assessment and reporting arrangements (ARA) gives detailed information on statutory testing and assessment at Key Stage 1. It can be downloaded from this web page, and will be sent to schools with the Key Stage 2 ARA in November.
Year 1 phonics screening check
This academic year, all schools with Year 1 pupils will be required to administer the Year 1 phonics screening check. This is a statutory assessment and will take place between 18 and 22 June 2012. A separate ARA will be published early in 2012 to support this.
