Assessment & Reporting

Assessment at Carshalton Boys Sport College is defined as ‘finding out what an individual student knows and can do'. The process of assessment is continuous in that teachers are continually monitoring the work of students. In addition to the continued monitoring, there are also termly, module or year end assessments for students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10.

In Years 11, 12 and 13 students will be entered for public examinations providing they attain the necessary course requirements. This applies to GCSE, AS and A2 examinations. Students may also take GCSE modules or GCSE short and full courses in Years 8, 9 and 10, depending on their ability.

Parents receive one full written report and two interim reports a year which show their son's progress in all subjects. The report is only one means of communicating progress to parents. The consultation evening or ‘Parents Evening' is a very special event, where teachers can discuss each student's progress with his parents. We organise the timing of reports and parents evenings so that parents receive information on a regular basis.
