Year 8 Skills Tests

Monday 10th February – Friday 14th February 2020

The skills tests for Year 8 students are aimed at developing and practising key skills in Maths and English and also learning key facts and information in relation to Geography and History. Students will be tested on this work in week commencing 10th February 2020.

The nature of the tests will be such that for the key areas of English and Maths, we will be expecting students to practise and develop the basics, i.e. numeracy skills for Maths, punctuation, grammar and spelling for English and key facts for Geography and History.
