Students in year 11 will be assessed on topics based on the content taught over the duration of their courses. Lost learning time due to the Covid-19 pandemic has been taken into account when considering what will be assessed. In most subjects three sets of assessments based on taught content will be taken in classrooms and will be no more than 1 hour in length (unless a student has extra time via an access arrangement). These assessments will form the primary evidence that will be considered when awarding grades. Secondary evidence will only be considered on a case by case basis where factors outside of a student’s control may have impeded their ability to provide sufficient primary evidence. For example, a student that hasn’t been able to get into school due to a diagnosed medical condition.
