You may recall me writing to you earlier this term informing you that all year 9 students would be taking the CAT4 tests. We have now completed these tests and collated all of the results and are in the process of analysing how to use these most effectively. We feel it is extremely important that parents are kept informed of the results, understand what they mean and how we will use them as a school.  A copy of your child’s report will be coming home on Friday 28^th February. This report is generated by CAT4 and illustrates how your child did on each area of the test and personalised strategies that could be used at home to ensure they make further progress. These results could also be used as a further tool when choosing Key Stage 4 courses.
