Schools use pre-key stage standards to support and assess pupils who are working below the standards of the national curriculum but are engaged in subject-specific study.

This information is for parents whose children are in year 2 or 6 and may be assessed under the pre-key stage standards. It includes information about:

  • what the pre-key stage standards are
  • how and when they are used
  • what results and information will be available
