They will also be given a tour of the school, be able to meet current Sixth Formers, and visit the Boarding Houses.
Ongoing practical and unit based assessments carried out over the full two years of study to produce a final portfolio for submission. • Combination of practical assessment, technical skills development, and theoretical work. • 66% external assessment, including a written exam.
