By Becky Allen| Substack@ Secondary schools often require all subjects to conduct an end-of-year written exam, typically lasting 40 minutes so it can fit within a lesson (see Teacher Tapp data for the prevalence of this approach). The reasoning is straightforward: when every subject is assessed in the same way, it sends a signal that all subjects are equally important. It also encourages students to engage in revision, reinforcing learning across the curriculum. These are admirable goals.
