EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations remove from the Education (School Performance Information) (England) Regulations 2007 the requirement for schools to report to the National Data Collection Agency the results of teacher assessments in non-core subjects at Key Stage 3.

These Regulations also make amendments consequential on the abolition of Key Stage 3 National Curriculum tests.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
