Assessment

Lower Sixth Assessment in the Lower Sixth is through ongoing practical and written assessments. Students are given the chance to complete a reduced design and make project. This project and the end of year examination will form the main evidence for the production of UCAS grades. Upper Sixth Assessment in the Upper Sixth consists of the NEA (Non Examined Assessment), which is 50% of the final grade. Students have a free choice on both the problem and material area. Additionally, students sit two final written papers to produce the other 50% of the final grade.
