🔹 General Overview

• Updated Frameworks: Introduced in 2018 for use from 2018/19 onwards.

• Mandatory Use: Teachers must use these frameworks from 2021/22 onwards when making teacher assessment (TA) judgements at the end of Key Stage 1 in:

  • English reading

  • English writing

  • Mathematics

  • Science

• English Writing Exception: The English writing frameworks have remained unchanged since 2017/18.

🔹 Comparability Over Time

• Exception: English writing is comparable between 2017/18 and later due to unchanged assessment criteria.
