Pre-key stage 1 standards
Pre-key stage standards are for pupils who are working below the overall standard of national curriculum assessments, but who are engaged in subject-specific study.

Details
Teachers can use pre-key stage standards for those pupils working below the standard of key stage 1 (KS1) but who are engaged in subject-specific study. The use of this guidance can further support teacher assessment judgements.
End of KS1 assessments are now optional and schools are no longer required to report assessment data or provide end of KS1 teacher assessment judgements to local authorities or the Department for Education.
Where pupils are not engaged in subject-specific study, the engagement model should be used.
