From 2002, teachers and pupils (through self-assessment and peer assessment) will be assessing progress and achievement in citizenship as part of the overall teaching and learning process. There is a statutory requirement for end of key stage 3 teacher assessment when each pupil's attainment should be judged in relation to the end
of key stage 3 description (citizenship attainment target). This statutory requirement will come into effect in 2003/04. Schools will not be required to submit summary data for citizenship to the national data collection agency. Schools are required to report pupils' progress to parents, as for other non-core subjects from August 2002. Further guidance on the assessment of citizenship is being developed.
