Examinations and Assessment
Internal Assessment
All pupils at St. George’s are continually assessed in their education and parents are informed regularly of their child’s progress throughout their time at St. George’s. Our pupils’ work is consistently internally assessed and parents receive two full reports on all subjects, annually. In addition, all pupils from year 3 onwards receive a final summative assessment at the end of the academic year.
External Assessment

Pupils are entered for external examinations (explained below) when both the school and the family feel they are fully prepared. This is not specifically dependent upon age.
