Assessment
A wide variety of assessment procedures are used. This includes (class work/ remote work during live lessons, homework, projects, tests and examinations). Parents are kept informed of their child’s progress via comments in exercise books, through the diary, reports, Chat via Microsoft Teams (for blended/online learning system) and parent teacher conferences.
There are 2 types of Assessments
- Formative Assessment
- Informal Assessment
(Both assessments are given to the students after enough practice and explanation)
- In Year 9, students sit the International Checkpoint Exams in Math, English and Science in order to assess their level and help guiding them whilst choosing IGCSE courses.
- At end of Yr. 11, students sit IGCSE exams.
- At end of Yr. 12, students sit AS exams.
