Throughout the course we will endeavour to track and monitor your progress, and feedback the information you need to improve in meaningful 1-1 sessions, email updates and comments on each student’s blog. Over time, we have found this system to be progressive and a valuable process in enhancing each student’s awareness of their development in the subject.
We would urge each student (and parent) to ensure that 2-5 hours per week is spent on INDEPENDENT STUDY, and aim for 2-3 blog posts to be submitted each week. We have regular assessments to complete and want to reflect each students progress as accurately as possible!
