The Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2019
This Order amends the Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (England) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/1038) (“the 2003 Order”). It imposes a duty on head teachers to make assessment arrangements in relation to pupils in year four in respect of a new National Curriculum test (the multiplication tables check). The purpose of that test is to assess proficiency in relation to multiplication tables. The Secretary of State will make delegated supplementary provisions in due course under article 11 of the 2003 Order; those provisions will provide additional detail on how the multiplication tables check is to be administered and will be accessible at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-curriculum-assessments-key-stage-2-tests.
