From September 2021, the engagement model replaced P-scales 1-4 as the teacher assessment tool for assessing pupils working below the standard of the national curriculum tests and not engaged in subject specific study.
Schools will have been conducting assessments regularly throughout the year and this summer will need to report which pupils have been assessed using the engagement model, at the end of key stage 1 (KS1) and key stage 2 (KS2). Schools are not required to submit any other data to DfE about the progress of these pupils, only which pupils have been assessed. Further information on what is required and how to report this data, can be found in the assessment and reporting arrangements for KS1 and KS2.
