Teacher assessment is submitted on the 'Teacher assessment' section of the QCA Test orders website, available from 1 May 2009. Early return of teacher assessment information is encouraged.

Teacher assessment data can be submitted in two ways:

• Schools can make their submissions directly to QCA using their own management information system (MIS). Schools will receive a report indicating if the file has been uploaded successfully.
• Some local authorities (LAs) may choose to collect teacher assessment on behalf of their schools. 

Guidance for users of proprietary MIS packages

• Guidance notes for Capita SIMS users for the submission of Key Stage 2 and 3 teacher assessments.
• Guidance notes parts 1 to 4 for Pearson Phoenix users for the submission of key stage 2 teacher assessments.
• Guidance (linked in the Attachments section) for users of proprietary MIS packages. 

Notes for RM Integris have not been produced in view of the 'bespoke' teacher assessment return routines provided in RM's assessment products.
