KS3 SATs 2008

• Children are tested at the end of year 8 instead
  of the end of year 9.
• This 2 year KS3 provides a clear and logical end
  to middle school education.
• It provides flexibility in KS4 by allowing a
  wider choice to meet the needs, interests and
  aspirations of all students.
• Our Value added is in line with the other middle
  schools and is on track to match LA and National
  standards.
• Our KS3 results exceed National expectation.
