St. Andrew's Secondary School mainly uses summative assessment in grading its students. Two assignments and a test or exam is used to collate the students' CA or SA marks at the end of the term. There are other projects that test their learning as well, such as the Favourtie Poem Project that the Secondary Ones do that to test on their understanding of poetry which they covered in Term 1.
Other interesting programmes available for the students, such as Poetry Slam for the lower secondary and Drama lessons for the upper secondary actually get assessed under their English marks, as part of the LangLit approach for the masses at St. Andrew's so that it benefits everyone, not just the Literature students.
As for the Secondary Three who I teach, they are mainly assessed via the two-assignment, one-common test/exam format, with the teacher being given the freedom to choose their best two assignments to include in their CA marks. Their Drama and Kite Runner project (where they read the text, produce a presentation and scrapbook about it, and make a kite to fly) will begin next term and will be included under their English CA.
