How We Track Progress at LEO: The Power of Internal Exams and Reports

At LEO School, academic progress isn’t left to chance. It is carefully monitored, supported, and reviewed. One of the most important parts of our learning system is internal assessment: regular exams and detailed reports that help both students and parents stay on track.

But how exactly does this work in an online environment?

Why Internal Assessment Matters

In traditional schools, students often wait until the end of the year to understand how well they are doing. At LEO School, we believe in early and continuous feedback.

Our internal exams are designed not only to test knowledge, but to show the learning journey — what’s working, where support is needed, and how to improve.

How Often Do Students Take Exams?

LEO students take internal exams twice a year — in January and June. These sessions are scheduled across all year levels and subjects.

Students in the Self Education Programme can choose to sit exams once (in June) or twice a year, depending on their preferred pace.

What’s in the Report?

After each exam session, every student receives a detailed academic report, which includes:

• Subject-by-subject results

• Teacher comments

• Attendance and engagement overview

• Recommendations for further progress

These reports are shared with both students and parents to help set goals for the next term.

Supporting Success Through Data

Teachers at LEO use these reports not just to record grades, but to adjust teaching, plan intervention sessions, or provide extra feedback where needed. This is especially important in an online school, where communication and structure are key.

The result is that our students feel more confident, more in control, and more prepared for final exams, whether it is GCSE, A-Level, or pathway programmes.

Learning Online Doesn’t Mean Learning Alone

At LEO School, progress is a shared responsibility. With structured assessment, clear feedback, and a committed teaching team, we make sure every student understands where they are — and how to move forward.
