Review of Qualifications and Assessment: Phase 3

Thursday 16th March 2023

As indicated in the most recent HT Weekly Update the national review of qualifications and Assessment in the Senior Phase as moved on.   To support this next phase we will hold an on-line session on Wednesday 29th March at 6.30pm to share current thinking and gather feedback from parents/carers.

As you may already know Professor Louise Hayward is leading on this important piece of work.  Her Interim Report click here gives a strong steer on how things could look in a few years time for Senior Phase students across the country.  Her ‘possible model’, if implemented, would see a move away from the current, very traditional,  model of an annual round of high stakes exams each year for our Senior Phase students.

The main features of the ‘possible model’ that is being considered are as follows

The three elements that would constitute the SDA are outlined in more depth below

Our on-line Zoom meeting is designed to allow parents/carers to hear more about the proposed model and feedback thoughts on questions we will pose.  The meeting will finish no later than 8.00pm.   On the day of the meeting we’ll send a Zoom code to all families and we hope to see many of you at our meeting
