Key Stage 3 Assessment

Parents/carers will receive assessment data twice during the academic year. This will include progress data from the core curriculum, attitude to learning information and improvement targets.

The progress data will indicate if a student is working above, at or below the level that we expect at a particular time.  We base our expectations on Key Stage 2 data and what we know about the pupil.
