	The Key Stage 1 &lt;em&gt;Assessment and reporting arrangements &lt;/em&gt;(ARA) includes detailed information on statutory testing and assessment. It is available to download from this page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h1&gt;&#xD;
	Key information for 2013&lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
		The ARA includes information about the end of Key Stage 1 assessments and the phonics screening check. A separate ARA was produced for the phonics screening check in 2012.&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
		The deadline for Key Stage 1 test orders was Friday 30 November 2012. Schools cannot order hard copies or change orders after this date.&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
		The phonics screening check must be administered to children in Year 1 and children in Year 2 if they did not meet the required standard in Year 1.&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
		The phonics screening check will take place during the&amp;nbsp;week commencing 17 June.&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
	&lt;li&gt;&#xD;
		Schools must finalise Key Stage 1 teacher assessment levels by Thursday 4 July. If a child starts at a new school before the summer half-term holiday, the new school must report the child&amp;#39;s teacher assessment level&amp;nbsp;to the local authority. If a child starts at a new school during the half-term holiday or the second half of the summer term, the previous school must report the child&amp;#39;s results&amp;nbsp;to the local authority.&lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
