Introduction to the Cambridge Progression Testing Program (#1)

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well. I am excited to introduce you to an important upcoming academic initiative – the Cambridge Progression Testing. This program is designed to evaluate the proficiency of our students in Grades 3- 8 in English, Science, and Math, providing valuable insights into their academic progress and areas for improvement.

The testing period is scheduled from May 13th through June 7th, with the assurance that there will be no more than two tests per week. This scheduling is intentional, aimed at affording students adequate time to prepare without the undue pressure of overlapping assessments.

The significance of these tests extends beyond mere academic evaluation. Our goal is to instill in students the discipline of methodical study and review in the weeks leading up to each test. This approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also mitigates the stress associated with last-minute cramming. To achieve this, we are seeking a partnership with you, the parents, to cultivate a conducive home learning environment. This may involve making deliberate adjustments, such as limiting other activities and events for certain periods, to prioritize study and review time.

We understand that this requires commitment and adjustments from both our students and their families. However, we firmly believe that these efforts will greatly benefit our students' learning experiences. By working together, we can support them in developing effective study habits that will serve them well beyond their current academic pursuits.

We look forward to collaborating with you in fostering an environment that enables our students to excel in their studies and approach all their learning with confidence. You can look forward to receiving updates and information to help you support your students at home. Should you have any questions or require further information about the Cambridge Progression Testing, please do not hesitate to contact any of the school principals.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.

Kindly,

Carol Souisa

Head of Academics
