Assessment and reporting

Assessment at Muirfield

The central purpose of assessment is to provide information on student achievement and progress and set direction for ongoing teaching and learning. At Muirfield, teachers use a variety of appropriate assessments for judging student achievement. Assessment can be incorporated into usual classroom activities. For example, teachers can assess achievement informally as students complete work.

Assessment of student learning will be undertaken for all learners, including students whose learning is impacted by disability. Adjustments to assessment tasks may be required for a student whose learning is impacted by disability. 

Further information regarding assessment, including information on illness/misadventure appeals or lateness can be found in the relevant policies:

Teachers observe students' work in class and look closely at tasks throughout the year. They also formally assess a student's achievement based on the outcomes described in the syllabus of the subject.

As a parent or carer, you’ll receive a written report twice a year. It gives you a clear picture of your child’s achievements – what they know and can do.

In Years 7 to 10, we use the common grade scale in reporting. In Year 11, we use the Preliminary grade scale.
