Assessment

All units of work are tailored to allow the individual to explore original and creative solutions in any or several of the techniques they have experienced. Teaching includes activities to demonstrate different skills and technical work, self and peer assessment and one-to-one tutorials. The exam board we use is AQA and the A Level will be assessed on a student’s personal investigation unit 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
