How are students assessed?
Students are assessed in a number of different ways.
Picture
Within lessons we make use of peer and self-assessment techniques against clear assessment criteria so that students can reflect on their own performance and understand how they can further improve.
Picture
Homework tasks are marked formally by the teacher and feedback is given to help them understand what they did well but also how it could be further improved.
Picture
Students are assessed at the end of each unit. Depending on the nature of the unit this will either take the form of an examination or the submission of a mini project. The levels achieved will be added to our tracking sheet so that the progress of all students can be carefully monitored.

To ensure that all students make the expected progress throughout the year, it is the department’s policy that if any student fails to achieve their termly target grade for a given examination, they will be expected to retake the examination. However, they will be given a support session to tackle any misconceptions or lack of understanding before the retake exam so that they are given the best possible opportunities to improve.
