Assessments give us objective and meaningful information about the
academic knowledge and abilities of students. Accordingly the setting and
marking of assessment is controlled by Heads of Departments/Subject
Coordinators and the Academic Coordinator. Teachers are expected to read,
understand and follow the procedures for designing and marking
assessments.
Purpose
The school puts great emphasis on assessment for the following reasons:
For every course, the aims are clearly laid out by the Administration. Breaking
the course down like this makes it meaningful, teachable, and most essentially
measurable. It is an aim of the school to teach and to measure what is being
taught, since only then can one assess the extent to which learning has
occurred, and to re-teach what has not been learnt.
- Assessments give the students a means of knowing how they
stand with what they should have learnt.
- Written tests and examinations provide motivation for the
students.
- Written tests and examinations provide the most objective
way of obtaining feedback from the students.
- Projects, orals, practical and presentations are also necessary
forms of continuous assessment that must be used.
Continuous Assessments
Our students are tested frequently on each subject throughout each term.
Testing trains students in sustained mental effort for long periods of time, a
training that is essential for future success. Frequent testing allows the teachers
to monitor students’ performance and identify gaps that need re-teaching.
Classwork and homework performances are also weighted in the final
assessment marks. Continuous Assessments grades account for 100% of the
total grade that is reflected on the report card. Continuous Assessment requires
that students must become aware that they have to work on all aspects of their
work and behavior everyday in order to achieve successful results
