Assessment

The course is assessed via three written papers. A summary of each paper is given in the table below. Content from both years of study is examined. Notably, there is now no internal coursework that contributes marks towards the A-level grades. Instead practical work will be assessed in the written examinations. A separate ‘endorsement’ of practical work will be awarded by teachers. If students pass this will be reported on their certificate and independent of their A-level grade. Boys will also be required to take regular internal assessments to monitor progress. Feedback from internal assessments will be delivered directly to parents, tutors and boys.
