At Key Stage 3

Students will be completing two formal assessments during the academic year.
This will test students’ knowledge of most of the work covered during the academic year.
Teachers will use these assessments to report back against the following standards:

Developing – working towards the expected standard.

Assured – working at the expected standard.

Extended – working at greater depth within the expected standard.

How do we assess students at KS3?

What would my grade look like at GCSE?
