## **Assessment**

[Home](https://www.rutherglenhighschool.co.uk/home-page?hsLang=en)

Assessment is a key feature in planning for our pupils. 

 

### S1-3

Continuous assessment is used in First, Second and Third year.  Formative assessment is used extensively.  This assessment employs a range of techniques including peer observation, sharing criteria and self-evaluation.  Through this teachers and pupils are able to confirm strengths and identify next steps. 

 

### S4-6

In S4- S6 assessment continues as above however for young people undertaking New National Qualifications a National Assessment forms part of the assessment criteria.  These are internal assessments which are set in school and moderated within the school.

### Moderation

We have links with Cathkin High School and Sanderson High School to moderate pupils work.  We have a successful SQA external verification every year.  There is planned moderation throughout the year.

Most S3 pupils are assessed in Numeracy, Reading, Writing and Talking and Listening using Standardised Assessments.
