Assessment

Formal internal assessments take place regularly about once every half term and homework is set on a regular basis. Grades are determined by final examinations, which take place in May/June at the end of the 2-year course. Practical work is assessed within the school for the practical endorsement, which is a pass or fail. An end of year exam must be passed for entry to year 2 and a mock exam must be passed for entry into the public exams.
