Assessment and Reporting

Great emphasis is placed, throughout the Senior School in particular, on regular assessment and reporting. Students in all subjects are encouraged to assess their own progress and set their own personal targets. These assessments and targets are discussed with subject teachers, and the outcome is reviewed by year heads and heads of department.

Reports are issued to parents twice a year; the first report is designed to give a brief overview of the students’ achievement and effort so far and a longer more detailed  report is issued later in the year. The assessment and reporting processes are linked to a planned cycle of parents' evenings which students are also encouraged to attend. There are two parents’ evenings for each year group and staff greatly value this opportunity to talk to parents about their daughters’ progress.
