Assessment 
Key Stage 3 The courses offer on-going assessment in line with the National Curriculum. The scores are recorded as percentage on a scale of 1 to 100. These marks are registered in the paper/virtual catalogue and appear in the school transcript. The assessment strategies include: progress tests, quizzes, lab reports, oral presentations, self assessment, peer assessment, homework, informal observations, and projects. Students are assessed internally by written and oral assessments for individual and group work divided into four categories:
Class work
: 20%
Tests
: 50%
Assignments
: 15%
Effort
: 15%
At the end of year 9 a period of revision is provided by the teachers prior to the external examination – Checkpoint examination.
