Primary school teacher assessment deadline changed
The Department for Education agrees to change the deadline for primary school teacher assessments for 2016 only.
The deadline for primary schools to submit teacher assessments has been changed following a series of constructive conversations between the Department for Education and a headteaching union.
In a letter to the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), Schools Minister Nick Gibb confirmed that the department would listen to the concerns raised by the sector regarding the deadlines for this year’s assessments at key stage 1 and 2 and introduce a new revised deadline of 30 June for both.
The change, for this year only, has been made in recognition of the unique circumstances for teachers working with a new framework to new standards, which will ensure more children are leaving primary school with the reading, writing and maths skills that will help them succeed at secondary school.
