Student Assessments

KS3 assessment model

The assessment model within the Academy focuses on a Progressive Model of Improvement. As a school we have moved away from giving isolated levels or grades, instead focusing on giving great feedback and communicating progress. We want to focus on the Growth Mindset of students, the students' journey and informing them of progress made through their secondary school experience.

Summative data is collected throughout the year to prepare students for the challenging demands of the examinations required by GCSE and A Level courses.

To achieve this we do the following:

  • Monitor progress and support learning linked to students starting points.
  • Celebrate the achievements of students and identify areas for development.
  • Comprise both formative and summative elements.
  • Ensure that assessment judgements made by teachers at the Maritime Academy are accurate and reliable.
  • Assessments should be reliable, valid and of quality.
