__**Your assessments**__ As the majority of you will not have studied French before you join us at Cathays, we start from the very beginning. The national curriculum for Wales asks us to assess you in 3 different skills:
 * 1) Oracy - that's listening and speaking
 * 2) Reading
 * 3) Writing

By the end of year 7, the majority of you will achieve an overall level of around level 3 across the 3 skills, but you may well be higher in some skills than in others. Here's an overview of the different levels for the national curriculum in Wales: And here's a copy you can download:
