Assessment Calendar

Each year group has two assessment windows within an academic year. During an assessment window students will complete assessments in the majority of their subjects. You will be notified of an assessment window through Arbor by your child’s SSL/SPL. Due to the rotation in technology their assessments will not fall into this assessment window but you will be informed by the leader of learning.

To support students when preparing for their assessment windows, we have introduced a revision mat which outlines the topics studied to date in each subject area. Please see links to assessment window revision mats.
