The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority
A very useful site for parents who would like to know more about the national tests. A range of information is given here about the duration of the tests, the subjects covered by teacher assessment, how to gain access to your child's results, and what the National Curriculum levels actually mean. There is also advice about stress and guidance for helping children prepare for the tests.

Report writing assistant
Ray Le Couteur has come up with the kind of utility that makes you wonder why it didn't already exist. From this site you can download his free report writing assistant which sits on top of your word processor and allows you to easily cut and paste from a bank of personalised report comments. It's difficult to convey just how useful this is to anyone trying to word process reports, but take our word for it - you'll wonder how you got by without it.
