Since September, it has been statutory for teachers to assess pupils who are working below the National Curriculum level 1 with special educational needs (SEN), using the P (performance) level attainment targets. Schools will then report on the assessments.P scales should only be used for pupils between 5 and 16 who are working below National Curriculum level 1 and have also been identified as having special educational needs.
