In years 7, 8 and 9 students sit Cumulative Knowledge Tests (CKTs). CKTs assess the retention of knowledge and skills gained across the key stage.  After the CKTs have been marked, departments will then reteach any misconceptions or gaps in knowledge that became apparent during marking (gap analysis).

Additional exam access arrangements are normally limited to children who have a 1:1 TA, or the small number of children who have a scribe or reader. The SEND team lead on identifying and supporting children and families with access arrangements.

GL Assessment

In Y7 all students sit the CAT4 assessments online. These assessments help provide the academy with a baseline and can inform target setting.

In years 10 and 11, students are assessed using GCSE past papers as per our exam calendar.
