Reports on English, Mathematics and Science state
two National Curriculum levels, one of which is Teacher
Assessed (reflecting classwork, homework and performance in tests
throughout the year) and the other of which is Statutory Assessed
(reflecting performance in the external examinations which took
place in May). The English Statutory Assessed Levels (SAL) have
been reviewed by the examining body, as requested by the School,
and have now been adjusted accordingly.
