Assessment and Reporting
At TCS we believe that assessment forms a vital part of the teaching and learning process; students must know their areas of strength and areas of development in order to make progress.
Similarly, it is important that parents and carers receive timely and useful feedback on how their child is progressing in order to best support their child. Our Assessment and Reporting system has been developed in line with the latest educational research and guidance from the Department of Education. The brochure below explains our Assessment and Reporting system.
