Assessment

Assessments take the format of interim assessments approximately every 5 weeks with written and verbal feedback. In the first year it is about experimentation and none of this work has to go towards the A level. There are 2 components in the second year that are added together to make the grade, Component 1’s final mark is given in January of the second year and is 60% of the grade. Then for Component 2 you are given topics by the exam board to respond to and the final mark for this is given in May of the second year. Alongside this there are one to one tutorials throughout the course.
