Are there plans to make APP statutory?
APP is not statutory and there are no plans to change its status. However, APP is designed to support teachers in making periodic assessments of their pupils’ attainment which can be used to inform and improve planning, to provide information to discuss with pupils and parents and to refine targets for improvement. It may also help teachers in arriving at more consistent and accurate judgements when they undertake statutory teacher assessment at the end of key stages 1, 2 and 3.
