Assessment

There is a balance of learning activities, which include specific skill and technical instruction, self and peer assessment, and one-to-one tutorials. The exam board we use is AQA and the A Level will be assessed on students’ personal investigation units worth 60%, including a 3,000-word essay and an externally set unit worth 40%, including a 15 hour practical exam. This is internally marked and externally moderated. For students opting to only complete AS, the coursework portfolio (60%) and externally set unit (40%) is internally marked and externally moderated.
