Assessment:

  • Pupils will sit a test after the first 4 chapters and the second 4 chapters (4Sight). 

    • * Mock SATs will be in March.
    * SATs are in May. This consist of a non-calculator paper, a calculator paper and a mental test.
    * There will be weekly mental tests (T2000).
    * Throughout the year pupils will be expected to complete homework, investigations and possibly ICT tasks.
