Attention: Headteachers of Schools with Key Stage 2 Pupils

2009 National Curriculum Tests Resource Pack

We draw your attention to QCA Circular 53 (March 2009) sent into your school this week (w/c 02/03/09), which outlines key changes for the 2009 national curriculum test cycle and also provides the following information:

Pupil registration factsheet - provides guidance on how to register pupils online via the pupil registration section of the Test orders website

Checklist - A3 poster outlining the test timetable and the key dates for the 2009 national curriculum test cycle

Test administrators' guide - an essential reference tool for headteachers and tests administrators on how to administer the tests correctly

Please note in particular that the deadline for pupil registration is 27th March 2009.

There is also one further document yet to come which will support you with this year's test process - the '2009 Guide to handling test papers and scripts' which will be sent to you in April and contains further information about completing the marksheets and dispatching scripts.
