We wish to bring to the attention of the School community that the U.K government changed the regulations regarding the marking of the Key Stage 2, SAT papers. International schools are now required to pay to have their SATS scripts marked. This is no longer a free service. Therefore, parents are to carry the cost of the examinations as is the practice in Years 9 and 11 as from next academic year (2008/9).This year (2007/8) the school will bear the cost.
