Assessment Overview
What will assessment entail in grade 10 ICT?
Our aims in ICT assessment are to ensure all our students can successfully complete the course and to highlight areas of improvement so we can ensure no student is left behind.
There are two distinct parts to assessment in ICT GCSE: Practical and Theory. Students undertake two practical and one theory paper in ICT GCSE.
This will be done both for the mocks and the real exam. In addition to this are internal assessments of specific chapters.
