For all placements: Pass or fail only. Not assessed using CGS. Students who receive unsatisfactory reports in SE1 will not require a resit as this can be overtaken in SE2. Students who have failed School Experience 1, i.e., students who have been graded as unsatisfactory overall by the tutor and/or school, will have an opportunity to overtake this in School Experience 2. However, they will be deemed to be 'at risk' going into SE2 and will automatically have two tutor visits in SE2, and an Interim Report from the school will be requested at the end of SE2A.
