There are many opportunities throughout each academic year for students to complete assessments at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, according to the assessment calendar. Assessments are graded using GCSE 9-1 if appropriate.

In addition, students may receive individual or whole class written or typed feedback giving a clear diagnosis of:

• The areas in which the student has done well towards a shared criteria

• The areas that require further development to make greater progress

• Errors in literacy will be highlighted by literacy codes.

• Staff will give feedback on other aspects of students’ work, such as the quality of classwork and homework. This will be monitored by 3 checkpoints every half term.

• Checkpoints will include the checking of marked work, comments and ticks where appropriate, and green pen engagement from students.
