Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 25 July 2016 to Question 42895, on primary education, what proportion of the 644 teachers and head teachers who responded to the consultation answered no to question one of that consultation.

The information requested is not held by the Department. As set out in the answer to PQ 35933, an analysis of the consultation responses is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/new-national-curriculum-primary-assessment-and-accountability.

We have worked closely with teachers and head teachers in order to develop the primary assessment reforms introduced this year. We will continue to listen to and engage with the profession as the details of the new primary assessment arrangements are finalised.
