Year 7 & 8 Assessment Nov 2026

Dear Parents/Carers,

Year 7 and Year 8 will complete their mid-year assessments later this term, beginning on 30th Nov 2026

Most assessments including the four core subjects (English, Maths, Science and RE) and the EBacc subjects (History, Geography and MFL) will take place as a year group in the main hall during the first week. This gives students a calm and structured experience of completing assessments in a larger space. All other subject assessments will take place in classrooms during the assessment window. Dates of all exams are clearly indicated on the student assessment timetable.

To support students with planning and revision, we have included a link to the full assessment timetable with this letter. It has also been uploaded to Google Classroom, the Student Information Centre and the school website. Students will also find helpful revision resources on their individual subject Google Classrooms and subject webpages.

The mid-year assessments help teachers identify any misconceptions from the first term and plan the most appropriate next steps in learning. Each subject has uploaded topic lists and revision guidance to Google Classroom, and we encourage students to use these as they prepare. As always, we ask students to try their best and approach their assessments with confidence and a positive attitude.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s tutor or Head of Year.

Yours faithfully,

Caroline Delaney

Senior Vice Principal
