With some exceptions not material for the purposes of the present Order, the functions of the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority are, in relation to Wales, now vested in Awdurdod Cwricwlwm ac Asesu Cymru or the Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales. The present Order amends the definition of “the assessment authority” in the Education (National Curriculum) (Assessment Arrangements for English, Welsh, Mathematics and Science) (Key Stage 1) (Wales) Order 1993 to reflect this change.

The authority now known as Awdurdod Cwricwlwm ac Asesu Cymru or the Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales was established by section 14(1)(b) of the Education Reform Act 1988 under the name of the Curriculum Council for Wales. Its present name was substituted by section 253(1) of the Education Act 1993 (c. 35). The relevant assessment functions were transferred to it by the Education (School Curriculum and Assessment Authority) (Transfer of Functions) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/645).
