During August and September, some of our students sat the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools, more commonly known as ICAS.

Just under 200 papers were sat in Maths, English and Science. These assessments aim to provide additional challenge and extension for high-achieving students. They are designed to apply classroom learning to new contexts using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. Maths results are due shortly.
