Internal Assessments

Rationale
At DGGS, we believe that in order for students to achieve, teachers must systematically assess to identify areas of strength and next steps. Summative assessments offer a consistent and fair approach to this, allowing students to showcase their knowledge, whilst practicing the skills needed for success in Public Examinations at the end of Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.
