Dear Parents/ Carers
Re: Year 7 End of Year (EOY) MYP Assessment Week- Commencing 12th May 2025
We are writing about the Year 7 End of Year (EOY) Assessment week, starting on Monday 12th May 2025. This is an opportunity for students to formally demonstrate what they have learned and know as a result of the teaching they have received, as well as support them to prepare for the next stage of learning.
During this week, students will be tested on the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout the academic year. They will complete an assessment in each subject.
Subject Leaders will be scheduling exactly when subject assessments will be within this window (during timetabled lessons) and both the timing and topic lists will be posted in the subject Google Classrooms. Please encourage your child to ensure they know exactly what they will be tested on and to spend appropriate time learning and revising for these assessments.
These assessments will also be used to help identify the End of Year IB MYP (International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme) grade which is awarded at the end of Year 7. This information will be published in the Module 6 reports.
These assessments were discussed in the Year 7 Parent – Teacher event in January and will be an excellent insight into each child’s progress this year. Further information about assessment can be found in the assessment section of the academy website.
Assessments will last no longer than fifty minutes and will be completed within timetabled lessons.
We will continue to prepare students for revision and preparation for these assessments through lessons and tutor time. The students may also refer back to their exercise books and their subject Google classrooms to support their revision.
We understand that preparing for the IB MYP Assessments could cause worry for some of our students, so please do remind your son/daughter to talk initially to their subject teacher or form tutor if they have any concerns.
Yours faithfully
Mr K Brewer | Head of College, leading on examinations
