Homework
S1 and S2 are issued with weekly reading booklets and/or follow up work. In addition, pupils will be expected to learn vocabulary from their topic vocabulary packs every night.
Every S1 and S2 pupil is given a topic vocabulary pack. This pack contains information about homework, assessments and learning outcomes.
S3 and S4 are issued with practice exam questions. Vocabulary lists are also issued for each topic. Pupils are expected to learn these lists.
We would encourage pupils to have dictionaries. This will greatly help them with homework.

Assessment
Access
Internal Assessment only. This means you can see your own progress and achievements as you go along and you do not have to worry about a 'big' exam in May.
There is no assessment of Writing so you can concentrate on Speaking, Reading and Listening
Intermediate 1
A mixture of Internal and External Assessment, and what you achieve in Speaking internally/in class is worth 30% of your final External award. In the External exam Reading is worth 35%, Listening 20% and Writing 15%.
Intermediate 2
Also a mixture of Internal and External Assessment.
Speaking - like Intermediate 1 this counts for both Internal and External assessment.
It is worth 30% of the final External award, but you'll be able to choose your own topic for presentation and discussion.
