There are up to 14 credits for internal English Achievement Standards which include a writing portfolio, wide reading and a written response to information research.  All work is internally assessed as it is produced over the whole year, with the exception of 2 separate reading assessments for EAP.

  • Produce a selection of at least three pieces of structured, crafted and controlled writing which develop and sustain convincing and effective ideas. There is an emphasis on planning; accuracy of grammar; the use of complex sentences, a more academic vocabulary and language features appropriate to audience and purpose. 
  • Frame an inquiry: research, investigate, explain and evaluation information about an issue (individually chosen topic) using literacy skills, in order to form a developed conclusion. (may be optional depending on other subject choices and already accrued literacy credits).
