Assessment and Reporting
Changes to GCSE Grades and Assessment at Key Stage 3
The government has removed National Curriculum levels from Key Stage 3. Secondary schools are now free to develop their own systems to use with students and report to parents. At the same time, the GCSE A*-G grades are being phased out and replaced with a 9 to 1 grading system.
In September 2016, we introduced a new assessment system in line with these changes. The following document explains the system in more detail:
Changes to progress measures at Key Stage 4
The Department for Education (DfE) has changed how school performance is measured.
From 2016, all secondary schools will be measured on progress, using the Progress 8 measure. This will be published in the secondary school performance tables.

Haydock Curriculum
The pace of curriculum change continues to accelerate, for example introducing a more flexible Key Stage 3. Our constant planning offers confidence for successful delivery and assessment of these areas.
Over the last few years we have been successful in achieving Sportsmark, Investors in People, Artsmark, Careers and Guidance and Healthy Schools accreditation. We were also awarded the accolade of a ‘Get Set’ school in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics.
