To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statment on the introduction of pupil assessment in conjunction with the national curriculum in schools.

The first national assessments of seven-year-olds in English, mathematics and science will take place this summer. The statutory arrangements for assessing seven-year-olds in other subjects at key stage 1 and for assessing other age groups will be phased in over the coming years.
