  9. In primary school, your daughter’s class teacher assessed her standard in English, Mathematics & Science in her annual report using National Curriculum sublevels In year 6, your daughter took Key Stage Two SAT tests in English & Mathematics and her results were reported using National Curriculum sublevels In years 7 & 8, your daughter’s progress in all subjects will continue to be assessed and monitored , using National Curriculum descriptors

  10. Cognitive Ability Tests • Your daughter will be taking online CAT tests at school before the end of term 1 in October. • The CAT tests are Cognitive Ability tests, designed by a company called GL assessment. • Other secondary schools in the Medway towns and Kent use these CAT tests designed by this company • The tests will assess your daughter’s current skills and abilities in four areas: Verbal, Quantitative, Non verbal and Spatial

  11. How do we use the results of these CAT tests? • The results of the tests predict what minimum National Curriculum levels your daughter should achieve in her Key Stage Three studies, by the end of year 9. • The school uses the results of these CAT tests to help us set personalised targets for your daughter at the end of year 7, the end of year 8 & the end of year 9. This helps us to track your daughter’s progress

  12. Assessment for Learning & Reporting In each subject, your daughter’s teacher will assess her standard at the end of every two terms using National Curriculum Sublevels Just as in primary school, a sublevel “a” would mean that your daughter has a secure understanding of the concepts & skills required at that particular National Curriculum Level. A sublevel “c” would mean that she is only just starting to develop an understanding of some of the concepts & skills required at that Level. A sublevel “b” would represent an intermediate standard somewhere in between an “a” and a “c”

  13. At the end of every second term, your daughter’s • subject teachers will assess her standard with respect • to the National Curriculum Sublevel Descriptors, using • tests, class work and homework tasks. • Using your daughter’s termly assessment and her • CAT predictions together, we will be able to identify • whether your daughter is on target to achieve her • targets. • Where your daughter is underachieving in one or • more subjects, we will share this information with both you and your daughter and offer suitable support • strategies to help her improve her standard and • achieve her full potential.
