 addresses the requirements of

 

single-sex boarding preparatory junior
mixed day secondary senior

 

 

and also the requirements of

 

denominational Christian schools nominal Christian schools non-Christian schools

 

   

all of which are affiliated to the five associations.

The Girls' School Association GSA
The Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools IAPS
The Society of Headmasters and Headmistresses

The Independent Schools' Association Incorporated ISAI

 

 

Attainment Targets are given, each with a Statement of Attainment.
These are then applied to the six fundamental Components of the Syllabus.
The Components form the basis of education in the four Key Stages and in
the post-16 stage.
A Scheme of Assessment is appended. This would permit the standardising of
the reporting of Levels of Attainment in a graded system related to the National
Curriculum's ten Levels but allow considerable flexibility for each School in the
setting, marking and grading of work. Schools may wish to adapt these further
for their own use where appropriate and should consult the specific instructions
in the appendix.
