Following consultation with Headteachers from primary, middle and secondary schools, LAs, teachers, governor and parent organisations, chief advisers, principal inspectors and religious bodies, the statutory test dates for 2009 are confirmed as:

|
Key Stage 2 |
Mon 11 May
to Fri 15 May
|
|
|
Key Stage 3 |
Tues 5 May
Fri 8 May

Year 7 progress tests
will not be offered alongside
the key stages 2 and 3
statutory tests in the
2009 or subsequent
test cycles.
However, year 7 progress
tests in English and
mathematics will be
made available as part
of the optional tests for
years 7 and 8 in 2009
and beyond. |

The above timetables take account of the fact that Monday 4 May will be a bank holiday in 2009.
