Disapplication
This term is being phased out. It has not always been correctly interpreted, and has been applied to pupils for whom it was inappropriate.
Full details of when a child should not participate in the tests are in the Assessment and reporting arrangements booklets.
  • for key stage 1 on page 11
  • for key stage 2 on page 11
  • for key stage 3 on page 10
Pupils who might previously been disapplied are now classed as 'children working at the level of the tests but unable to access the tests'. A brief report needs to be written about the circumstances, and copies sent to the parents, the chair of governors and to the LEA.
The following forms have been prepared by QCA for this purpose.
The LEA copy can be sent to Steve Birtwistle at the address above
