<p>In light of the COVID-19 outbreak and associated school closures, the Department
made the decision to cancel key stage 2 national curriculum assessments in the 2019/20
academic year. As a result, there were no formal assessment and reporting requirements
for that year. The Department recognises the gap in information this creates on pupils’
attainment for the year 7 cohort of pupils in the 2020/21 academic year. Schools must
continue to share pupils’ common transfer files with secondary schools and make arrangements
to share additional information as required.</p>
