KS3 Assessment
Each subject has produced a grid that includes the different knowledge which students need to gain, and skills which students need to develop, with descriptors for the work anticipated at the end of the year, and beyond, for our very gifted and talented students. These subject grids provide an overview and guide for the level of work expected of students and are not meant as detailed checklists.

When students join the SWGS, we anticipate that all of them will be working towards the standard for much of the year, with most reaching the standard by the end of the year. Students will use the regular, high quality formative assessment which they receive in class and on their work, to identify their strengths and areas for improvement; this formative assessment is complemented by summative assessments. In the end of year report, an individual end of year assessment of students’ progress will be given for each of their subjects.
