2.1Changes to the 'Test orders' section of the NAA website

Changes to the test orders process

In an effort to reduce waste and improve efficiency, schools are now required to confirm the quantity of test materials they need on the ‘Test orders’ section of the NAA website at www.naa.org.uk/tests by 30 November 2007. For more details, see section 8.1.

Changes to login details

Headteachers can now set up four additional user accounts for staff who need access to the ‘Test orders’ section of the NAA website at www.naa.org.uk/tests. Schools were sent further information in September 2007. For more guidance, see section 8.4.

Easter term dates and closures

Schools will need to provide their Easter 2008 holiday dates by visiting the ‘Test orders’ section of the NAA website at www.naa.org.uk/tests. This information helps the NAA plan delivery schedules and ensure schools receive their test materials safely.

Local authorities

Local authorities will be able to order mark scheme packs via the ‘Test orders’ section of the NAA website at www.naa.org.uk/tests using the login details sent to each local authority in September 2007. They will also be able to view test orders made by schools in their area.
