Primary assessment in England

We’re seeking views on the future of assessment in primary schools and the implications for accountability.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

We’re asking for views on issues related to assessment in primary schools, including:

  • the best starting point to measure the progress that pupils make at primary school
  • the role and operation of teacher assessment
  • how to build on the strengths of the early years foundation stage profile
  • how we can support and improve end-of-key-stage teacher assessment, including the assessment of writing

We’re also consulting on assessment arrangements for pupils working below the standard of national curriculum tests.
