Assessments
At Meadowhead we follow an assessment cycle where in-school summative assessment is completed 2 times per year at Key Stage 3 (Year 7, 8, 9) and in Year 11, and 3 times per year in Year 10. These are high quality assessments that are at least 45 minutes long and reflect schemes of learning. Please see the links to the right for information to support parents and their children in preparing for their assessments. You can read our Assessment Policy at the foot of this page.
