The use of formative assessment (Assessment for Learning) as well as summative assessment (Assessment of Learning) is evident across the Academy. In particular, all summative assessments are designed such that they can be used formatively.
In summative assessment, students are given a range of opportunities to demonstrate their learning. Such opportunities include but are not limited to:
1. end of unit summative assessment tasks or projects which focus on different assessment criteria for students taking the IB programmes,
2. unit specific assignment briefs which students taking BTEC courses complete in every unit they study,
3. CATs, practicals and end of years exams for students taking the national curriculum,
4. As well as pre-mock and mock exams which are done for students in their final year of KCSE and IBCP.
External summative assessment is offered in the DP subjects done by IBCP students, e-Assessment (on-screen exams, e-portfolio and personal project) for MYP students as well as KCSE for students in the national curriculum.
