Assessment

Both formative and summative assessments are used by teachers throughout the year to ascertain levels at which students are achieving. The information gained by teachers from these is used to plan future learning activities and goals for students. Student attainment is also reported to parents. Teachers will provide feedback to students for all tasks and assignments that are presented for marking, against criteria that have been explained in advance.

Formative assessment will include:

● observation of students at work.

● discussion with students about their work, both individually and in groups.

● reflection and analysis of personal work by students.

● marking of written tasks and assignments by teachers.

Summative assessment will generally take the form of tests or tasks that are completed towards the end of a unit, or as part of an extended task that meets coursework requirements of individual subjects. These are marked against the IGCSE grading scale which runs from A* through to G (A* - C are considered good passes).

Upon the completion of the two year program students will sit their IGCSE examinations in their chosen subjects. These are externally assessed by examiners in the UK and globally recognised by academic institutions worldwide. CCS courses will be assessed through a combination of internally assessed examinations and coursework using the same IGCSE scale.
