This course is comprised of a suite of pre-recorded presentations and a follow up webinar. Registered participants will be able to download a suite of pre-recorded presentations early in the 2025 Spring Term. It is recommended that schools then ensure senior leaders and all relevant members of staff have access to these presentations to ensure the school adopts a robust strategic approach to KS1 and KS2 statutory assessment and reporting processes. The suite of presentations will include the following:  

• Statutory Assessment overview 
• Assessment administration and maladministration 
• Teacher assessment and moderation
• Data submission 
• EYFS 

• Statutory assessment updates since the publication of the suite of presentations
• A brief refresher on the key aspects schools should be considering prior to test administration and data submission 
• A question and answer session

Pupils will: 

• benefit from secure and robust assessment processes in their school 

• gain an insight into the assessment requirements for 2024/2025 
• be able to identify considerations and implications for their own school assessment arrangements

• be secure in their statutory assessment and reporting arrangements and processes for 2024/2025

This unique, innovative and practical workshop considers issues around setting up and maintaining the data on the schools’ SCR in the context of the regulations, guidance and best practice.

Course objectives include:

• To consider the categories of staff/workers that should be recorded on the SCR
• To explore options around format and content of the SCR
• To equip participants with a practical understanding of all pre-employment checks for school-based staff, volunteers, contractors and agency workers
