Please see the letter below that is going home this week:
To: Parents/Carers of Year 7 Students
Cognitive Abilities Test (CATs)
As a school we continue to ensure that all our students make the very best progress in aiming for excellence at all levels.
Students who entered the school in Year 7 this year will take the Cognitive Abilities Test during the week beginning Monday 13th September 2010 in the LPod. This does not require revision or preparation at home and will provide a baseline against which students’ performance can be measured. The test consists of three parts, measuring verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and numerical tests.
This year tests will be completed online in a controlled environment and Year 7 students will be given the chance to do a small practice test prior to the official tests. If you wish to view an example of these online please go to:
www.gl-assessment.co.uk/education/resources/cat3/demo.asp.
Tests will be sat by House on the following dates from Lessons 1-4 and students will return to their normal lessons sometime during lesson 4. Break time may not coincide with the school break, so students should bring something with them to eat and drink; the school kitchens may not be available.
Monday 13 September: Hanover House
Tuesday 14 September: Stuart House
Wednesday 15 September: Tudor House
Thursday 16 September: Windsor House
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.
Yours sincerely
