then assessed according to your needs. This is done through a system of
points. You get more points if you have priority needs, for example if you

In England, the curriculum is divided into four stages, called Key Stages. After
each stage children are tested. They take Key Stage tests (also called SATs) at
ages 7, 11 and 14. At 16 they usually take the General Certificates of Secondary
Education (GCSEs) in several subjects, although some schools also offer other
qualifications. At 18, young people who have stayed at school do AGCEs
(Advanced GCE levels) often just called A levels.
