Form of assessment | % of credit | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |

Portfolio of evidence of achievement of the professional standards required by the NCTL for QTS. | 100 | Portfolio to be developed during the 36 weeks of the programme to provide evidence of achievement of the professional standards required by the NCTL for QTS. There is no stipulated length. | 1-9 | Pass/Fail indicated by Final Summative Report |
Re-assessment
Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.
Original form of assessment | Form of re-assessment | ILOs re-assessed | Timescale for re-assessment |
---|---|---|---|
Portfolio of evidence | Portfolio of evidence | 1-9 | See notes below. |
Re-assessment notes
RE-ASSESSMENT NOTES If a submitted portfolio is deemed to be a Fail, you will be given feedback outlining what needs to be done to bring the portfolio to a pass standard and one opportunity for resubmission will be allowed, based on an additional school placement if this is confirmed by the Consequences Board following the Examination Board for the Secondary PGCE programme.
The resubmission would normally be made at the end of the additional placement.
