Progression Pathway
In S3 History pupils complete assessments at the end of each unit of work which they complete. Once the class teacher has marked this, the score and % will be given and that score is matched to our progression pathway grid. Pupils can then see where they are in their learning for each topic and recieve feedback on areas to improve as the progress through the year.
Below is a table explaining the progression pathways pupils will be on based on their result.
