Dear Parent/Carer
Following on from assessments completed at the start of Year 7, your child will be taking part in some online tests week commencing 13th June 2022. These tests allow us to monitor progress across English, Maths, and Science over the year and are used to ensure learners are making the expected progress in relation to their starting point.
The tests will cover all areas of the national curriculum in English, Maths, and Science at key stage 3. It is important to emphasise that these tests are to help us improve and personalise our teaching and we are really keen that students should not find them too stressful.
As a parent you might like to set aside some time to go through with your child what they have learnt in these subjects over the past two years and go through the online tools listed below.

The results will not be shared individually but as a result of the testing there will be targeted interventions used within, and in some cases outside of lesson time to help support your child.
If you have any questions regarding these test please do not hesitate to contact me
Yours Sincerely
Mr G Foy
Interim KS3 Raising Standards Leader
