RE—Self Evaluation

In RE the home work is focused on key skills; description,

explanation and evaluation.

These questions are based upon current GCSE type

assessment. All students will therefore be practicing many

essential skills that will help them develop a good technique for

future success both in RE and other subjects.

The home work will be marked out of 16 and the mark given to

the students. However these marks do not fit within the national

curriculum level grading criteria, and as such, a level will not be

provided for the home work as it stands alone.

The homework mark will be used in conjunction with other pieces

of work to provide all students with a national curriculum level

during the normal reporting period.
