Introduction
On this page you will find links to Assessment Information Booklets for each year group. These booklets contain key information about that term's assessments your child will be taking in their subjects. Please note that for Year 7-10, assessments will take place during lesson time and your child will be given a timetable of when each assessment is happening in which lesson.
Year 7
We use assessment to support us in teaching our curriculum and of course to support pupils’ reflection on their learning. Regular ‘low-stakes’ assessments such as quizzes, allow us to identify misconceptions or gaps and to plan appropriate immediate interventions such as re - teaching specific content or addressing issues with individual pupils or groups. Pupils can also learn from these experiences, identifying their mistakes and correcting and improving their work so they can do better next time.
Challenging and fair end of year tests allow us to grade pupils and indicate where they are in relation to national expectations for their age group. Parents receive a report with a grade at the end of each year.
Both forms of assessment inform our improvement of curriculum planning and inform any training needed.
