--- title: "Year 9 Assessments" url: "https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/news/2026-10-14-year-9-assessments" school: "Bishop Challoner Catholic College" --- # Year 9 Assessments 14 October 2026 ![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/news/WholeSchoolLetterhead_TOP.jpg) Dear Parent/Carer, We are delighted to welcome back Year 9 and to congratulate them on an excellent start to the school year. We are confident that Year 9 will have a very successful year and that they will achieve well. During their time at Bishop Challoner, students are assessed in regular intervals so that we can monitor their progress. The first of these assessments in Year 9 will take place between **Monday 2nd November 2026 – Wednesday 18th November 2026** It is important that students prepare thoroughly for these assessments as they allow teachers to measure the progress your child has made since the beginning of the academic year. The assessments will be completed during normal lesson time and an assessment timetable is now published on the school website, along with guidance on the topics to be assessed within each subject. **Please make sure that your child refers to this guidance as it will help them to feel effectively prepared for these assessments.** **Please [click here.](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/examinations-information/year-9-assessments)** The outcomes from these assessments will be very helpful when deciding on appropriate student Pathways as part of our Year 9 Pathways process that will take place in February and March next year. You will have an opportunity to discuss the progress your child is currently making during our Parent Consultation Day on Friday 11th December 2026. More details on this will follow. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Year 9 every success with their assessments. With thorough preparation and organisation, students will be in a position to produce encouraging results thus demonstrating the progress they have made. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns or queries.
