KS3 Assessment : Summary
http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/teachinginengland/detail.cfm?id=312
Pupils' attainment (assessment of learning) is measured statutorily at the end of each key stage (KS) in the form of National Curriculum (NC) tests for KS3 and national qualifications at the end of KS4. During KS3, there are Optional Tests that measure pupils' attainment at the end of Years 7 and 8.
End of key stage assessments are not appropriate measures of pupil progress from day to day or week to week. It is more useful to think of assessment in terms of short-term, medium-term and long-term evaluation.

Assessment at key stage 3
http://www.qca.org.uk/ages3-14/tests_tasks/120.html
Assessment at key stage 3 (11- to 14-year-olds): Years 7, 8 and 9
Pupils will normally be 14 at the end of key stage 3, although a minority may be slightly younger or older. A typical 14-year-old will normally be working at level 5 or 6
Pupils working at levels 4-7 in English, 3-7 in science and 3-8 in mathematics will be assessed by the statutory key stage 3 tests. QCA provides optional tasks (updates will be available from March 2004) to support teacher assessment of pupils working below the level of the tests or above the level of the tests.

Pupils take national curriculum tests at the end of each key stage and at other important milestones. QCA develops tests and tasks for key stages 1, 2 and 3. QCA also manages the external marking of the key stage 2 and 3 tests and ensures that all marking is of a consistently high quality.
This section provides links to the statutory and optional tests and tasks used in the national curriculum.
