Assessment Point Exams - Years 7 to 10

There are three sets of exams (assessment points) during the academic year for students in Years 7 to 10.  Your child will sit their Assessment Point 1 (AP1) assessments in November and the results will be used to generate a grade which appears on their end of term report. This will be a projected grade based upon how their assessment performance reflects when considering a potential final GCSE/A-Level grade. These assessments will be conducted in classrooms.  We will not be sending out individual or group reminders of specific dates or revision topics as this information will be given to students in class.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that our school website contains information around the curriculum for each subject and year group; what is being studied, why, and how you can support your child in learning more and remembering more.  Please support your child in preparing to the best of their ability and in approaching these assessments with a positive attitude and “growth mindset”.  It is imperative that students attend for their assessments to ensure students and teachers can then be made aware of any gaps in students’ learning and work towards improvements.

Please see below the dates of the first assessments this year for each year group.
