Dear Ms Johnston

Request for Information – Scottish National Standardised Assessments

 

I refer to your request for information dated 24 March 2021.

 

The information you requested was:-

 

 1. Are the Council requiring your primary and special schools to carry
out the Primary 1 Scottish National Standardised Assessment this year?
 2. Please provide the information for this year being the academic year

Response 

 

Relative to the above, I am advised that all Primary Schools in Perth and
Kinross Council follow national guidance in respect of the
administration/completion of P1 SNSAs. The guidance advises schools to
decide upon their own arrangements for administering/completing the
assessments. All schools are required to ensure SNSA are planned and
integrated into learning, teaching and assessment approaches and this
remains unchanged for the current school session.

 

You have a right to request a review of the Council’s decision. Click

this. If you remain dissatisfied after the Council has carried out its
review, you can appeal [2]online to the Scottish Information Commissioner

 

Should you require any further explanation or assistance please do not
hesitate to contact me.

 

Yours sincerely
