Assessment

The course is split into four units. Two units are coursework based. Each coursework unit is then split up into three Learning Aim/Assignments. You will be taught the key information about this Learning Aim in class before being allocated lesson and independent study time to complete the assignment by a certain deadline. Work can be awarded a grade of: Ungraded, Pass, Merit and Distinction. Google Classroom is extensively used for the process of handing in work and can aid with your own organisation. The two exam units differ slightly from each other. Unit 1 is a traditional exam which involves you being taught the information prior to sitting the exam which has questions ranging between the topics of the unit. For Unit 2 you will have two ‘assessment sessions’ at the end of the unit. The first session you will be required to independently create a document that can be taken into the second session to aid you. This second session is a traditional exam. Students will be assessed every 6 weeks in line with our Praising Stars system in the Academy and this data will be shared with home. This will give us a clear indication of what level the student is working at and where and when specific intervention is needed.
