The Pre Key Stage standards are for students who are working below the standard of the national curriculum assessments and engaged in subject-specific study. This means they will be working below the lowest standard in the relevant framework for Teacher Assessment.
These are designed to assess and record attainment in these subjects, but do not cover the full breadth of knowledge and skills.
Students who are working below the lowest standard in one of the TA frameworks because they cannot communicate in English should be assessed using the Pre Key Stage standards.

Please be advised the 'Result Year' is the year the students took the test not the academic year.
You have some options for the Table Format you require:
- 'For data entry' allows you to enter the data.
- 'Grid with data' shows the data entered already and you then have an option to print the results here if required.
- 'Blank grid' can be used if you wish to print off the table and enter the data manually before entering it on the system.
Enter the curriculum year that the students are in.
If you have more than one form per year you can also choose to view this by class to enter the data separately for each group, if you don't select this it will show the whole year group.
Click the tick box to show only former students if you have any off roll students you need to enter data for, this will only show off roll students so you will need to untick this box and then click choose for the on roll students.
Once you select "Choose" you will have a list of all students in the requested year group and you can start entering the data by clicking the drop down arrow and selecting a result (see below for the codes).
Note. There is an option to 'remove' a mark on the drop down which must be used prior to changing a mark where required.
