Exams and coursework

How students are assessed.

Since the GCSE reforms, almost all assessment is by written exam at the end of Year 11. There are no modules or resits of individual units during the course.

Some subjects keep a non-exam assessment: Art and Design (portfolio), Drama and Music (performance), PE (practical), Design & Technology and Computer Science (projects).

Speaking tests in languages and science practicals are assessed but usually reported separately from the written grade.
