Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 8 Assessment Period – 13 to 22 January 2025
Year 8 students will be undertaking assessments in most subjects between 13 and 22 January. These will be based on content covered so far in year 8. Students will do some revision in class but it is important that they do some additional work at home. They will be set homework tasks on Edu-link to help them prepare.
The timetable for the assessments is attached to this letter. Students will take the assessments in their normal, timetabled lessons and each assessment will last approximately 55 minutes.
Students will receive the results of the assessments in lessons. These results will form the basis for teacher judgements in the next report home.
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,
Mrs T Thompson
Director of Learning – Year 8
