(This note is not part of the Order)
Part 6 of the Education Act 2002 ("the 2002 Act") is concerned with the curriculum for maintained schools in England. One aspect of the National Curriculum for England (as to which, see section 80(1)(b) of the 2002 Act) is the arrangements for assessing pupils for certain purposes (assessment arrangements). This Order, made under section 76(2)(b) of the 2002 Act, specifies an additional purpose for which such arrangements may be made. The purpose specified is providing evidence, to the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) on changes in pupils' performance over time in English language and mathematics at the end of the fourth key stage (when GCSEs in those subjects are most commonly taken), principally through testing pupils.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
2002 c. 32. Section 76(2) was inserted by sections 174 and 192 of, and paragraphs 31, 32(1) and (5) of Schedule 12 to, the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (c. 22).
The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation is a Non-Ministerial Department established under section 127 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (c. 22).
