Topic content in assessments
To support students, parents and carers with revision for assessments, we have provided information for each subject below on what will be the topic areas of the next assessments to take place in June 2023. These will inform student's KPI3 assessments, with reports available on MCAS in July 2023.
Each subject in Years 7, 8 and 9 will report a % achieved in each assessment. This is recorded on the reports available on MCAS. In Years 10 and 12, subjects will report a predicted grade that teachers estimate that a student will achieve at the end of the course from mock exams.
Along with this is an 'ATL' (attitude to learning) grade with 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.
Click each subject section below to discover the topics that will be assessed and the supporting resources for students for these assessments in June 2023.
