There is no statutory KS1 national data for 2026, because the KS1 national curriculum tests and teacher assessments became non-statutory from the academic year 2023-24, with the statutory Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) replacing them for cohort-level progress measures. While Talbot Primary School chooses to administer the optional KS1 tests to inform teacher assessments, this data is not a statutory requirement.
