This study is an evaluation of National Curriculum assessment in theory and practice. It focuses on the contentious issues which proved, and continue to prove, problematic at Key Stage 1 (age 7), and which have clear implications also for the first Key Stage 2 (age 11) assessments in 1994. Features of the book include: an informed and balanced insight to the reality of National Curriculum assessment in English, maths and science throughout the primary school; a critical evaluation of assessment experience against a context of good practice in teaching and learning; separate chapters on special educational needs, and assessing bilingual children; and the book opens up issues which the SEAC sought to suppress via very low-profile "publication" of the formal evaluation report - particularly relevant to Key Stage 2 teachers looking nervously at the current furore re Key Stage 3 testing.
