Here at Castle View Academy, we follow an assessment system know as Rank Order Assessments. Twice a year, students sit a series of assessments under exam conditions which are marked and used to determine their rank within their year group in school but also amongst their peers in other schools across the United Learning Trust. This process allows us to set groups according to ability, challenging those in higher sets while providing support for those in lower sets. The outcomes of these assessments will be discussed with parents/careres at length (usually at a parents' evening) so that all parties involved know exactly what should be done for each student to achieve their very best during their time here school. It is therefore very important your child fully prepares for these assessments and spends time doing the revision needed to do their best.
