Students are assessed against the Common European Framework Reference (CEFR) of languages, which range from beginner, A1 to advanced C1. These are assessed in all skills areas, speaking, listening, reading and writing. In order to exit the EAL programme, students are expected to reach a minimum CEFR level in all skills for that year level. For example, this would be B2+ for Y7-9. As the students move up the year levels, so the expected level of English increases for all subject areas. The EAL department uses formative assessment, with peer and self assessment a key feature, so students are clear of the goals they have to achieve and what they are required to do to reach success.
