Assessment Details

There are three major assessment points throughout the year when students will sit a summative assessment:

  • Term One: xx
  • Term Two: xx
  • Term Three: xxx

In addition, students will be assessed using a range of formative assessments in class each half-term as each unit of work progresses.


Additional Equipment Recommended

  • Kit for practical lessons

What can I do to support my child at home?

  • Ask students to explain what they have covered in class as this can help ‘internalise’ information.
  • Ensure homework on Google Classroom is completed.
  • Provide support in organising time to work on assignments.
  • Support work at home on exam practice using sample assessments and past papers. Mark responses and discuss improvements using the mark scheme.
