Assessment

For the Extended Diploma: Four of the mandatory modules assessed externally, and the other nine assessed by the course teachers. Most assessments will be completed during lessons and homework, but there will be more supervised exam sessions e.g. online exam, answering seen and unseen questions on pre-released material in exam conditions, and more traditional exams. Students receive grades for the assessments throughout the course (with assessments in Dec / Jan and May / June), meaning a less stressful end of Year 13. Furthermore, assessments can be resubmitted during the course where students feel they could achieve more. For the Extended Certificate: two mandatory modules, and a range of optional modules chosen by the teacher.
