Dear Parent/Carer

As we reach the end of the autumn term, I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year that brings health, happiness and peace to you and your family.

The beginning of the Spring Term is an important time for Year 8 students at Bishop Challoner. Students will be starting to prepare for key assessments in a number of subjects.

These assessments coincide with the mid-point of a student’s learning in Key Stage 3.

Assessments will take place in the period from **Monday 20th January to Friday 7th February 2025.**

Assessments will be completed during normal lesson time.  You can now see an assessment timetable along with guidance on the topics to be assessed within each subject by **[clicking here](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/examinations-information/year-8-kap3-assessments)**. **Please make sure that your child refers to this guidance as it will help them to feel effectively prepared for these assessments.**

The results of these assessments may result in some group changes. Any group changes will be designed to ensure that students are in the correct teaching group in the next phase of Key Stage 3.

Later in the spring term you will have an opportunity to discuss the progress your child is making during our Parent Consultation Afternoon. More details on this will follow.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Year 8 students every success with their assessments. With thorough preparation and organisation, students will be in a position to produce encouraging results thus demonstrating the progress they have made.

If you have any queries regarding these assessments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards

Ms H Hunter                                                                      Ms C Manning

**Head of Year 8                                                                  Assistant Head of Year 8**
