Key Stage 3 How are teaching groups organised? Pupils are in two parallel groups called X and Y band. Within these bands they are placed in sets 1 to 3. How will my child be assessed? A formal assessment will take place in the last week of every half term. These assessments will be levelled and used in progress checks.
