How will CAT3 benefit the child?
Any hard information that enables teachers better to understand the abilities of their pupils should operate to those pupils’ advantage. A pupil’s three reasoning scores will enable more effective teaching, learning programmes and interventions to be designed. Children also benefit from CAT3 scores enabling teachers to set better targets containing the right degree of challenge. And anything that personalises teaching and learning is in keeping with the Government’s intention that children should be prepared to take more responsibility for their own learning.
