Dear Parent/Carer,
Year 7 Homework and Module 3 Assessments
As we come to the end of another successful module, we would like to inform you of an upcoming milestone for your child at Key Stage 3.
Starting in Module 3, our Key Stage 3 students will undertake the Interim Middle Years Programme assessments. These assessments have been designed to evaluate both the attainment and progress your child has made thus far in the current academic year. All work undertaken since September will be included in their final grade. The results will provide valuable insights into their academic journey, allowing us to tailor our support and resources to better meet their individual needs. Students will complete their assessments during lesson time and in their classrooms.
We believe these assessments are essential for fostering continuous improvement and academic growth. The information gathered will not only help us recognise and celebrate the achievements of our students but also guide us in identifying areas where additional support may be beneficial. You will find an information guide on the MYP Assessments at Leigh Academy Halley here. Students will receive their assessment timetable when they return to the Academy in January 2026.
To help students prepare for these assessments, they will be provided with a comprehensive revision list covering the relevant topics and skills. Additionally, teachers have assigned homework tasks aligned with the assessments, ensuring that students have ample opportunities to reinforce their understanding and showcase their learning. These tasks have been posted onto their Google Classrooms and outlined below. We hope that this information will support all families to ensure that this homework is completed for the start of Module 3.

All Year 7 students also have access to their Knowledge Organiser Google Classroom, and this platform has links to all of the knowledge organisers for this module. These overviews provide insight into the topics and key concepts that the students have been learning in each of their subjects for the module. If your child has not joined this classroom, this can be accessed on Google Classroom by using the code: kmoetqrx.
