Assessment

Year 12 During the year 12 study the students begin to work through the syllabus in relation to theory, which is split between two examination papers. During this time students will begin to develop a deeper understanding of all topics covered in the syllabus, with examination practice and assessment points throughout the year. As well as theory topics the students undergo a range of practical activities which aim to take them through each assessment objective for their NEA assessment, allowing major development opportunities. The students move onto their Live NEA coursework during the trinity term. Year 13 Students continue with their NEA assessment by working through individual targets to fulfill the assessment criteria set by the AQA exam board. Each student will undergo a personal project and therefore will be working on different end prototypes. As well as working on their NEA which equates to 50% of their final A-Level grade, the students will continue to revise for their examination, and we do this through a range of revision and examination practice.
