Outside formal meetings, parents are welcome to make an appointment to meet with their childโ€™s teacher at any time throughout the year. These appointments can be arranged through the School Office or by emailing the relevant teacher.

ASSESSMENT

The assessment of students takes place through a range of formative and summative tasks for each subject throughout the year. Students also undertake a range of external assessments, that allows the school to compare our students with students from UK and international cohorts. Each year students in Years 7 to 9 undertake the Progress Tests from GL Assessments in English, Mathematics and Science. Students in Year 7, 10 and 12 also complete a Cognitive Abilities Test. These external assessments give teachers a broad range of information about student achievement and ability to help them best plan for the learning needs of their classes.
