Cat4 Letter

Dear Parents:

Over the last few weeks, students have been completing the second session of iReady diagnostic assessments. These assessments help build a clearer picture of both student progression and the impact of teaching and learning, whilst giving an international indicator of individual ability. There will be one final diagnostic at the end of the school year to complete the overall view of student progress.

Alongside these results and those of internal assessments, we have completed Cat4 diagnostic assessments, which help create a greater understanding of a student’s ability whilst predicting future achievements. Within the Cat4 reports, which have been shared with parents, is a breakdown of preferred learning styles and indicators of verbal and numerical biases. These will also be used for Grade 10 to help with any course decisions for Grade 11 and the Diploma.

Throughout the rest of the school year, these data will be used to help drive our teaching and learning. Building comprehensive and reliable data that benchmark our students with their international age-appropriate peers is an important part of our commitment to school-wide continuous improvement and improving ongoing student academic success.
