Assessment is a continuous process at all levels of the school. Throughout the year continuous assessment of the progress of pupils is made through the marking of homework and classwork together with regular tests. Appropriate intervals are chosen for formal reporting to parents through:
- assessment cards giving grades for attainment and effort reflecting term and examination performance,
- full written reports on term and examination performance,
- parents’ evenings, and individual consultations with Year heads or members of the Senior Management team.
