Assessment at Walton-le-Dale
We carefully consider the way in which we assess our students' progress and report to parents & carers. We have considered national best practice and looked to integrate it with the ethos of our school. In the documents below you will find the "Guide to Assessment for Parents and Carers" - please read and do not hesitate to contact us at school if you have any questions. The full Assessment policy is in the "Policies" section of the website for reference (https://www.waltonledale.lancs.sch.uk/parents/policies)
Assessment and Examinations information
This is the timetable for the upcoming Year 10 examinations in early May
This is the timetable for the summer examinations. Please note that Wednesday 29th June is the contingency day for Summer 2022 examinations as declared by The Joint Council of Qualifications (JCQ). Students must remain available up to and including the 29th June as this is the last date that any exam can take place on, should it have to be moved from its original time/date. The JCQ states: “The designation of a ‘contingency day’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or local disruption to examinations. It is part of the awarding bodies’ contingency planning for examinations”.
This explains the principles of assessment and reporting to parents and carers - updated Oct 2018
These will help parents and carers to understand the attitude to learning grades on school reports - this has been updated during the pandemic
