Students are assessed in science through fortnightly progress tests that will assess the content they have studied in these lessons. Content from previous topics may also be included in these progress tests for revision purposes. This information will then be used to re-teach topics to students when required.
Within lessons, students will complete examination questions to assist them with the development of their examination technique which will be self or peer assessed to get immediate feedback on their work.
