Baccalaureate

Assessment

The essay is marked externally, although first drafts will receive comments from the supervisor. Completion of the written essay is followed by a short, concluding interview, or viva voce, with the supervisor. The supervisor also completes a short report on the performance of the pupil, which is then combined with the pupil’s reflections recorded throughout the process. For those studying towards the IB Diploma, the grade (A-E) is combined with the grade from Theory of Knowledge to determine a score out of 3 for the core points. A level pupils will receive the grade, which is certificated.
