The determination by an education authority, or (where there has been a redetermination by the adjudicator or the Secretary of State) the redetermination, of any relevant area for a local school or schools in relation to a particular school year shall have effect in relation to later school years until a subsequent determination or, as the case may be, redetermination of the relevant area.
Review of relevant areas
11
1
Each education authority shall review periodically their determination of the relevant area or relevant areas for their local schools in accordance with this regulation.
2
The authority shall review their first, or as the case may be most recent, determination within the period of two years after the date on which that determination was made.

a
a relevant area was redetermined by the adjudicator or the Secretary of State under regulation 9, and
b
the redetermined relevant area differed from that which had been determined by the education authority,

4
Having reviewed their determination, the authority shall prepare and consult on proposals for the relevant area or relevant areas for consultation by the admission authorities for the local schools, in accordance with regulations 5 and 6.
5
Paragraph (4) does not require the new proposals to propose any change to the relevant area or relevant areas previously determined.
6
Following consultation, the education authority shall decide either–
a
that a fresh determination shall be made, in which case regulations 7(1) and (2), 8 and 9 shall apply; or
b
that no fresh determination shall be made, in which case they shall notify the bodies mentioned in regulation 8 in writing of their decision.
7
The education authority shall take all steps necessary to ensure that, should it conclude that a fresh determination is to be made, that determination is made no later than two years after the latest time by which their previous determination was required to have been made.
8
A fresh determination by an education authority under this regulation shall specify, by reference to admission arrangements for a particular school year, the earliest admission arrangements for consultation about which the freshly determined relevant area or relevant areas has or have effect.
9
Regulation 9 applies to enable a decision under paragraph (6) to be referred to the adjudicator or the Secretary of State where the decision determines, or (where no fresh determination is made) leaves in effect, a cross-border relevant area.

7
In paragraphs (4) and (6) “relevant AT” means any AT in which the standard tasks enable achievements to be assessed.
Verification of assessments
6
1
This article makes provision for the verification of standard task assessments by the local education authority in respect of the schools which they maintain and the substitution for levels of attainment determined by such assessments of levels determined by the local education authority and in this article the local education authority is referred to as “the verifying authority”.
2
The verifying authority shall exercise the functions conferred by this article in relation to each of English and mathematics and —
a
subject to paragraph (3), in any school year in relation to at least 25% of all relevant schools;
b
in each school year, in relation to those schools in relation to which verification took place in the last preceding school year and in the opinion of the verifying authority, having regard to the results of that verification, a further verification should be made.
3
For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a),
a
verifications carried out pursuant to paragraph (2)(b) shall not count towards the 25% minimum;
b
the verifying authority shall so exercise its functions as to secure that in any period of four years they have been exercised in relation to all relevant schools.
4
For the purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3), the “relevant schools” are all the schools maintained by the verifying authority.
5
On request by the verifying authority, the head teacher shall provide them with the results of standard task assessments of such number or proportion of pupils, and in such subjects or attainment targets of subjects as they may require, together with the supporting material referred to in paragraph (6) to enable the verifying authority to verify the assessments.
6
The supporting material consists of the pupil’s written response to the standard tasks and such further material as the verifying authority may reasonably require.
7
If after such verification the verifying authority consider that the results of the assessments are accurate, they shall so notify the head teacher, and the levels of all pupils at the school determined by standard task assessments (whether or not verified) shall be the levels for the subject in question.
8
If after such verification the verifying authority consider that some of the results are in accurate, they shall so notify the head teacher and, if they so request, the head teacher shall as soon as practicable —
a
arrange for the results considered to be inaccurate, together with such other results as that authority may request, to be reconsidered by the teachers concerned and subsequently submitted to that authority for verification; and
b
provide that authority with the results of the assessments of all other pupils in the subject in question which have not been verified, together with the supporting material referred to in paragraph (6) for verification.
9
Where any level of attainment determined by the verifying authority differs from the level determined by a standard task assessment, the level determined by the authority after verification shall be the level of attainment.
10
It shall be the duty of the head teacher and the governing body —
a
to permit the verifying authority to enter the premises of the school at all reasonable times in order to observe the implementation of the arrangements specified by this order;
b
to permit the verifying authority to inspect and take copies of documents and other articles relating to standard task assessment; and
c
to provide to the verifying authority such information relating to such assessment as they may reasonably request.
11
For the purpose of exercising their functions under this article the local education authority shall appoint such competent persons as they think fit.
12
A person is not competent for the purposes of paragraph (11) unless he has recent experience of the provision of the National Curriculum in primary schools.
Further Assessment: English and mathematics
7
1
Where in the opinion of his head teacher a pupil’s level of attainment in English or mathematics would, if the pupil were assessed by the administration to him of the NC tests for that subject laid down for the purposes of the Education (National Curriculum) (Assessment Arrangements for the Core Subjects) (Key Stage 2) (England) Order 1995 , be level 4 or higher, it shall be the duty of the head teacher to make arrangements for the pupil to be assessed in that subject by the administration to him of those tests at such time as is specified by the Secretary of State pursuant to article I 1; and article 5(3) and (4) of that Order shall apply in relation to that pupil accordingly.
2
ln this article “NC tests” has the meaning assigned to that expression by article 3(1) of that Order.
Determination of attainment by subject: teacher assessment
8
1
Subject to article 9, the provisions of this article regulate the aggregation of AT levels of attainment determined in accordance with article 4 to calculate subject levels of attainment.
2
In the case of English, a pupil’s level of attainment in the subject shall be the average of his levels in each AT.
3
In the case of mathematics, a pupil’s level of attainment in the subject shall be the average of his levels in each AT but with his level in AT2 (number and algebra) weighted by a factor of two.
4
In the case of science, a pupil’s level of attainment shall be the average of his levels in each AT but with his level in AT1 (experimental and investigative science) weighted by a factor of three.
Pupils not subject to provisions of the National Curriculum
9
1
Article 8 shall have effect in relation to pupils as respects whom provisions of the National Curriculum do not apply (including pupils with statements of special educational needs) with the modifications specified in this article.
2
Where in the case of any core subject one AT does not apply to such a pupil, article 8 shall have effect as if the number of ATs applying to the pupil were the total number of ATs in the subject.
3
Where more than one AT in a core subject does not apply to such a pupil, article 8 shall not apply to him in relation to that subject.
Evaluation of Assessment Arrangements
10
The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority shall make such arrangements as seem to them appropriate for determining the extent to which the provisions of articles 4 to 9 and their implementation achieve the purpose mentioned in article 1(2).
Supplementary powers of the Secretary of State
11
The Secretary of State may make such provisions giving full effect to or otherwise supplementing the provisions made by this Order (other than provisions conferring or imposing functions as mentioned in section 356(5)(a) of the Education Act 1996) as appear to him to be expedient, including in particular provisions as to standard tasks for the purpose of assessing pupils' levels of attainment in any AT or core subject and as to the time when and the manner in which they are to be administered; and any provisions the Secretary of State may so make, shall be published by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.
