How will you study
In 3 hours of lessons each week you will study and learn largely by discussion and activity. You will share your ideas and understanding with your peers and be encouraged to work to the best of your ability.
Assessment Arrangements
As you complete each topic, you will also complete assessments made up of end of unit tests and skills assessments. The results of these will map your progress and provide targets to aim for to improve.
