Assessment
Students are assessed every six weeks. Their assessment is a written piece on what they have been studying. After each assessment, students are given targets to work on before their next assessment. These targets are used to inform all planning so that students have the best means of reaching their goals by the end of each assessment.
Each assessment draws on different skills such as their ability to identify key evidence and their ability to write detailed explanations when assessing the significance of a topic in History.
