Background

In response to the 2017 consultation on primary assessment, on 20 July 2022, the DfE announced that assessments at the end of KS1 would become non-statutory from the academic year 2023 to 2024.

The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) has continued to create tests that schools may optionally choose to use. If your school decides to use them, you might find it helpful to record these in Sonar Tracker for your internal purposes.

You can populate Sonar Tracker with this data in one of two ways:

1. Import the KS1 data from your MIS.
2. Manually enter the KS1 data in Sonar Tracker for analysis and future tracking.

Importing test scores / teacher assessments from your MIS

If you have already entered this data into your MIS, import it into Sonar Tracker using a CTF. See Sonar Tracker: How do I import Statutory Data from a CTF? for further details.
