Assessment policy
Assessment is a continuous process at all levels of the school. Throughout the year continuous
assessment of the progress of pupils should be made through the marking of homework and classwork
together with regular class tests. Appropriate intervals are chosen for formal reporting to
parents:
- assessment grade cards giving grades for attainment, effort and organisation.
- examination grade cards are issued in January [Y11] and March [Y12] which give mock
- examination grades[A-E] and percentages
- full written reports
- parents evenings, and
- individual consultations with members of the Senior Management Team.
