Dear parents/guardians. Our school has been selected to participate in the piloting of reading literacy computer standardised tests as part of our ongoing work with the Educational Research Centre (ERC). Classes Newman (period 1 & 2), Freeman (period 3 & 4) and Higgins (period 5 & 6) will take part tomorrow, Thursday 19th October and classes McVerry (period 1 & 2), Roche (period 5 & 6) and Clandillon (period 7 & 8) will participate on Tuesday 24th October. Please reassure your son/daughter that all they need to do is to follow the instructions of the teachers supervising the test, try their best and to bring along a book to read in case they finish early. Testing will take place in room E5.
For more details about the testing please read the ERC letter to parents attached here.
