Over the past 6 weeks, Year 7 students have been completing a three part Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT):
1) Verbal Reasoning – Thinking and problem solving with words
2) Non-Verbal Reasoning – Thinking and problem solving with shapes and space
3) Quantitative Reasoning – Thinking and problem solving with numbers
The test results will help Heads of Department stream students into sets for subjects such as English, Maths, Languages, Humanities and Science and can also predict future achievements such as GCSEs. In fact, the results can be used as a benchmark for their progress throughout their secondary years. The results should also help the school spot any issues and identify where the student might need some extra support.
Well done to all our students!
