Formal Assessment
Pupils have an interim common marked task assessment and a final end of topic assessment for each unit. The targets set for the interim common marked task assessment will help students to not only identify areas of strength but also make maximum amounts of progress as they move through the key stage towards GCSE.
Homework
Pupils will be set homework on a weekly basis. This will include a variety of reading, writing and research tasks to help enhance and extend their classroom learning.
