Assessment

The assessment of pupils form an important aspect of the department’s work. Each pupil’s progress is closely monitored by assessment tests. Investigations and practical activities also form part of their continuous assessment. All pupils are assessed by written work throughout the year. Pupil progress is closely monitored against individual targets and formal records are kept in accordance with school policy. Any causes for concern are flagged early so that effective intervention strategies can be implemented whenever student achievement is falling below expectations.
