Education Datalab recently contributed evidence to the Education Select Committee’s inquiry into primary assessment.

Among the points made by Datalab are that:

• using assessment for curriculum compliance must be done with care;
• we need a reliable age five baseline assessment;
• teacher assessment should not be used in statutory assessment;
• a simpler floor standard would be fairer and more transparent;
• we should avoid over-interpreting Key Stage data.
