The Testing in Primary Schools (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1991
These Regulations amend the Testing in Primary Schools (Scotland) Regulations 1990 in three respects. Firstly, they alter the latest date by which an education authority are required to order attainment test materials in respect of a school year from 15th November to 31st March, the amendment having effect from 19th August 1991. Secondly, they remove the requirement that attainment tests which are to be held in each school year are to be held within the period 1st March to 30th April. In respect of the school year commencing on 1st August 1991, tests may be held at any time during that school year from 19th August 1991, being the date these Regulations come into force. In respect of future school years, tests may be held at any time during the school year. Thirdly, they restrict the requirement to ensure that a summary of test results in a school is provided to the school board of that school so that it applies only where it is possible to give such summary without identifying an individual pupil’s results.
