Assessment

Students are expected to build portfolios of evidence for each optional unit studied as well as prepare for two external exams (entitled to one re-sit). The optional units are internally assessed and externally moderated. The assessment of units can take place at a time that is appropriate for students and the school (i.e. a student can present a unit for assessment as required). Students will be awarded the following grades if successful: Pass – equivalent to grade E at A-level Merit – equivalent to grade C at A-level Distinction – equivalent to grade A at A-level Distinction* – equivalent to grade A* at A-level
