Assessment & Reporting

Assessment

Throughout their time at the Wavell School, students are assessed within each subject. These assessments allow the teacher and student to get a clear picture of the progress that is being made and the areas that need to be worked on in order to continue making progress. The nature of the assessment varies in each subject and the way in which it is marked may vary between assessments. 

For instance, an assessment or test may generate a mark. In the case of GCSE-style questions or past-GCSE papers (in Years 10 and 11), this can then generate an indicated GCSE grade (grades 9 – 1). Smaller assessments may just generate a comment based upon the criteria being assessed. Further information about the assessment structure for each subject can be found on the individual subject pages (in development currently). 

Reporting 

The school reports progress to parents in two ways: 

• Verbally at Parent Subject Consultation Evenings when subject teachers will discuss with parents the progress their child is making and make suggestions about the way in which they can continue to make progress 
• In written form in a Progress Review.
