P-Levels have been used in schools since 1998 to assess the progress of pupils working below the national curriculum level. In May 2018, in response to the Rochford Review, the government released the new pre-key-stage standards for 2018-19, which will replace P-Levels. This webinar covered the changes to the end-of-key-stage statutory assessment.
In 2014, we were told that the National Curriculum level descriptors were bad. Four years on and The STA have finally published the ‘permanent and extended ’ pre-key stage standards.

The government said that the P levels will not be used to report attainment to the DfE for students engaged in subject-specific learning from September 2018. For students not yet engaged in subject specific learning P levels will be removed from September 2019. 6 months on and we are still waiting for this intention to turn into statutory guidance.
This webinar introduces schools to Engagement Steps, our framework to support schools implementing The Engagement Model.
