Reports and Effort Grades

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. ~Mark Van Doren

Reports are always written to encourage and advise, but they are above all honest. Classwork, homework, assessment and overall percentage and attainment grades are awarded throughout the year. Tutors and Houseparents add overviews to the detailed subject comments that constitute a full report, so a student is never left merely with a sum of the parts. Whenever a student is failing to fulfill potential, they will be given positive guidance alongside any criticism.

There are parent-teacher interviews and meetings for each year group several times each year. Of course, parents are most welcome to visit tutors and teachers throughout the year.
