The Department has launched the Consultation on the Draft Education (Pupil Records and Reporting) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009
The Education (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 gave effect to the framework for the revised curriculum, which is being introduced on a phased basis from the 2007-08 school year. Revised assessment arrangements are also being introduced on a phased basis. These draft regulations propose arrangements for reporting information to parents annually; at the end of key stages 1 2 and 3; and at the end of primary school; and to parents or pupils at the end of compulsory schooling following key stage 4, and upon leaving school at the end of sixth form.
The development of the draft regulations has been informed by evaluations undertaken by CCEA. A copy of CCEA's final evaluation report on the annual report to parents (Annual Pupil Profile) can be accessed here
The consultation commenced on 17 December 2008 and will end on 20 March 2009. The Draft Regulations and a Response Document are below:
