To ensure effective delivery of the Curriculum and that students are ‘learning more and remembering more’, formal assessment for KS3 take place each year at City Academy. In between these formal assessments, teachers undertake many forms of summative assessments throughout the year, as part of their normal teaching practice. These all help build a picture of your child’s progress and development, plus identify gaps in their knowledge that require our intervention. Details and timings of these assessments can be found in this Assessment area of the website.
Students will be provided with a list of topics and content to revise, these can also be found in this area of our website.
It is important that your child spends time revising and preparing for these assessments and to do this they should be spending at least 1 hour per night revising.
On the day of assessments, your child should ensure they come to school properly equipped and this includes the relevant exercise books and textbooks for the subjects being assessed.
Should you have any questions regarding the assessment process please contact the school and speak to your child’s Head of Year.
Results of assessments are shared with parents at Parents’ Evening, with some assessment results posted out to parents (see the City Academy Assessment Calendar for details).
