“Economics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.”
Lionel Robbins, 1932

How will my child be assessed?

Assessment and Feedback Outline Approach |
---|---|
KS5 |
Students are set one major weekly assignment (once a fortnight per teacher). The vast majority of assignments are exam-based questions. We have been moving towards the use of assessment booklets in Y13. Individual feedback is given in both written and one-to-one form. Students are set revision using EzyEconomics. There are frequent vocabulary and multiple choice tests. Every topic has a terminal multiple choice test in Y12. In addition to the twice yearly formal assessments, Y13 students sit a number of further mocks. Teacher, peer and self-assessment are all regularly used. Informal quizzes are a regular feature of lessons too. |
