Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 9 Assessments– Wednesday 5 June to Tuesday 11 June 2024
After half term, Year 9 students will be undertaking assessments in maths, English and Science. Students will undertake some revision in class and will also be set a homework task on Edu-link to help them prepare for the assessments. They will take place in normal timetabled lessons and each assessment will last approximately 55 minutes. Students will not sit more than one assessment in a day. The timetable is given on the back of this letter.
Students will receive the results of the assessments in lessons. These results will form the basis for teacher judgements in the next report home, which you will receive later in the school year.
We are very proud of the attendance of the vast majority of our students. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child is in school and making progress. It goes without saying that full attendance during this assessment period is essential. Students should also ensure that they are appropriately equipped for each assessment. This includes a pen, pencil and ruler, as well as a Scientific Calculator for maths and Science assessments.
If you have any questions, please contact me at school.
Yours sincerely,
Mr D Sewell
Director of Learning – Year 9
