Assessment

The 2-year A-level course consists of Unit 1 (Portfolio) and Unit 2 (Externally set assignment). Assessment, progress, and targets are all discussed and agreed in 1-1 scheduled meetings throughout the year and are recorded in individual progress booklets. Regular summative assessments are also completed throughout the course in order to give the students comprehensive feedback on their work. Unit 2 papers are provided by the exam board (AQA) and distributed in February Year 13. All work is moderated initially by the centre and then a sample of work is provided for the exam board.
