Assessment

Throughout each of the modules you will sit a range of key assignments that will inform you of your understanding of recent work covered. At the end of each module you will then sit a test checking your overall understanding. Termly assessments are supplemented by internal examinations. The Public Examinations at the end of Year 13 consist of 6 hours of exams spread across 3 papers. There is no coursework for the A level. All understanding of practical work is assessed in the written papers. Your ability to carry out a range of practical skills is monitored in class by your teachers and reported to the exam board as achieved or not achieved. This is called the practical endorsement; it is expected that all students will achieve this unless there are exceptional circumstances.
