In March 2014, the Department for Education (DfE) published an outline of the new assessment and accountability systems for primary schools.

End of KS1 assessments - At the end of KS1 teacher assessment in maths, reading and writing will be informed by internally marked tests. 

End of KS2 assessments - At the end of KS2 pupils will continue to sit externally set and marked tests in mathematics, reading and GPS.  These will be used for school performance measures.  In addition to this we carry out teacher assessment in mathematics, reading, writing and science to give a broader picture of children's attainment.
