Brakenhale School

Assessments

Key Stage 3 Assessments and Examinations

Years 7 to 9 are regularly assessed during lessons and sit internal exams during the school year in classrooms.

In January and June, KS3 students take Rank Order Assessments (ROAs) and this information is shared with the students and their parents and carers. No data is displayed in school. 

Please find more information and FAQs for our ROAs here.

Key Stage 4 Assessments and Examinations

Students in Year 10 are regularly assessed during lessons and sit more structured internal exams at the end of Year 10.  We try to make these exams as formal as possible to familiarise Year 10 students with the exam process ready for Year 11 and GCSEs.

Key Stage 5 (Sixth Form) Assessments and Examinations

Students in Year 12 are regularly assessed during lessons and sit more structured internal exams regularly.  We try to make these exams as formal as possible to familiarise our Sixth Form students with the exam process ready for A-Levels.

External Exams

All external exams are currently held in the Sports Hall and Main Hall, with access arrangements for those students who require them.
