Annual Report
The Annual Report has been designed to promote consistency across Northern Ireland and includes Special Schools, Special Units attached to mainstream Primary Schools and Irish Medium Schools and Units. Therefore, no matter what school their child attends, every parent will receive the same breadth of information on their report. Annual Reports should be received by parents by 30th June.
There are two formats:
- Key Stages 1 & 2; and
- Severe/ Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (SLD/PMLD).
A template for end of Key Stage 1 and end of Key Stage 2 will also soon be available.
All Key Stages 1 & 2 templates are available in Irish Medium.
The Education (Pupil Reporting) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009
Key Stages 1 and 2
The only difference between the format of the report between the key stages, is that Key Stages 1 and 2 reports on Physical Education and Foundation Stage reports on Physical Development and Movement. These reports will also be given to the parents of children with moderate learning difficulties (MLD) regardless of the nature of their provision.
SLD/PMLD
An Annual Report has been designed by specialist teachers for reporting on pupils with PMLD.
Pupils with SLD can be reported on using whichever of these three formats is most appropriate. This decision will be made by schools in discussion with parents.
