Assessment

Students' progress is checked at the appropriate points on the timeline. As the course progresses, these become cumulative to improve knowledge retrieval. Summative assessments are in line with the whole school calendar. In addition to these, we have baseline assessments at the start of Y12 and Y13 as well as summative exams as per the whole school calendar. Practical endorsement: Alongside the written assessments, students complete all required and many recommended practical tasks which enhance their understanding and improve their practical skills. All students are required to master 12 groups of practical assessments over their two years of study. Externally, the two-year work will be assessed through three external exams after the second year of study.
