The reliability of the statutory end of Key Stage 2 assessments and their use in England

Merrell, C.

Abstract

Great importance is placed on the results of England's end of Key Stage 2 statutory assessments. They are used to monitor the progress of individual pupils, to judge the effectiveness of teachers, schools, and local authorities, and, at a national level, to monitor the standard of education over time. This article discusses the reliability of these assessments and whether they are appropriate measures for high-stakes use.
