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 70% of the total grade that is
reflected on the report card. Continuous Assessment requires that students must
become aware that they have to work at all aspects of their work and behavior
everyday in order to achieve successful results
Final Exams
The students of Grades 5 sit for final exams in all subjects at the end of each
term. The final exams grade account for 30% of the total grade that is reflected
on the report card.
