Primary School |
|
|
|
In Primary School we apply the method of differentiated teaching in the core subjects, Mathematics, English and Science. This ensures that children are given work appropriate to their ability.
Formal testing takes place at the end of each year for Year 2 and above in the form of SATs for the core curriculum subjects. In addition to this, informal assessments are carried out throughout the year. |

A Level |

|
|
Students completing Year 11 at Rainbow, or achieving equivalent qualifications elsewhere, may join Year 12 and take a course at 'A' level (Advanced Level). To be admitted to Year 12, students must have at least 5 C grades or above at IGCSE (or an equivalent course), including English and Mathematics. A good level of computer literacy is also required. Students with good results overall but without the necessary grades in English and/or Mathematics may enter Year 12 but will need to repeat these subjects in the November examination session.
