At the end of the third term, the children write the Cambridge Progression Tests.

Co-curricular activities

Assemblies
Once every academic year, the Year Group holds an assembly where each child gets an opportunity to feature in a presentation. Our ‘Year Three Mixed Flavour Broadway Show’ was an instant hit within the Temple Community. It featured Annie, clips from Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, The Lion King, Hard-Knock Life and Sound of Music. The assembly ended with an exhilarating Tiv Dance called The Swanage Dance. It was an exciting day for the children as they danced and sang their hearts out before the whole school and their parents.

Parent involvement
Parents are involved in the education of their children/ward. General Parent-Teacher meetings are held at the beginning of every term and during the term whenever a need for this arises.
