Assessment Process for CAGs

Assessment evidence

Teachers at UTC OLP can use a range of evidence to make a judgement of the grade students are performing at. Students will only be assessed on what they have been taught, ensuring sufficient coverage of the curriculum to enable progression. When determining the grade, teachers will reflect the standard at which the student is performing now, not their potential.

Teachers will use the time remaining to balance continued teaching with any assessments they want to undertake. Work done at home can be included as evidence to support a teacher's judgement if it cannot be produced in school.

Assessment Process for CAGs

Types of assessment evidence Teachers can use evidence to determine grades from across the duration of the student's course. The following are examples of evidence that can be used: ? student work produced in response to assessment materials provided by the exam board,

including groups of questions, past papers or similar materials such as practice or sample papers ? non-exam assessment (NEA) work (often referred to as coursework), even if this has not been

fully completed ? student work produced in centre-devised tasks that reflect the specification, that follow the

same format as exam board materials and have been marked in a way that reflects exam board mark schemes - this can include:

? substantial class or homework (including those that took place during remote learning) ? internal tests taken by pupils ? mock exams taken over the course of study ? records of each student's progress and performance over the course of study

Assessment Process for CAGs

Making a judgement Exam boards will publish guidance in March, so teachers have a clear understanding of how to make fair and consistent judgements, these will be shared with students. Exam boards will also provide all schools with support, guidance, and training on how to minimise the risk of bias. Assessment materials The exam boards have provided assessment materials. These include sets of questions organised to help teachers quickly find questions in the topics they have taught. These questions will be provided with mark schemes, exemplar responses and data on past performance where available, to assist teachers in making fair and consistent judgements of the standard of a student's performance. How will UTC OLP undertake quality assurance? Exam boards will review all schools' quality assurance processes before they submit grades. The principal will submit a declaration to the exam board confirming they have met the requirements for quality assurance before the deadline to submit grades to the exam boards on 18 June.
