Dear Parent/Carer,
Prior to the end of the academic year students in Year 9 will be sitting formal assessments in the core subjects of English and Mathematics. These will take place between Monday 12th June and Friday 16th June, and will be conducted during their normal lesson time.
Students are currently working with their subject teachers to ensure they are fully informed of what will be covered in the assessments, an outline of the requirements of these assessments is included in this communication; this information has also been posted on the Year 9 Google Classroom.
Science conducted their formal assessment prior to the Easter break, and students in Year 9 have now commenced the GCSE course in their lessons.
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact your child’s tutor.
Yours sincerely,
Mr M Stokoe, Head of Year 9
