I'm puzzled. I went to a meeting at my dc's primary school in which one of the SLT explained the assessment systems that the school is now using instead of the NC levels during the 'transition' year (except for Y2 and Y6 who are still being assessed under the old 'levels').
I got the impression that schools were no longer using NC levels for other years.
I was talking to 2 teacher friends last night and both said that their primary schools are still using the NC levels until they're directed to do something else.
What is the current situation? It seems a complete waste of time and resources for schools to buy in alternative assessment methods if they don't have to, but it's hardly a 'transition' if schools are using the same methods as previously.
