Assessment Criteria – Pre Primary

Pre-Primary students are assessed in scholastic and co-scholastic areas throughout the year. Observations are made periodically by the teachers for academic work, behaviour, attitude, classroom activities, interaction & participation in the class. A record of all the work done is maintained on a regular basis and a comprehensive progress report is given to parents twice a year.

Classes 4 & 5 have two summative assessments (SA) at the end of each term.

There will be an annual examination in the V^th class at the end of the academic year, which will be conducted as a part of the other examinations being conducted in the school during the academic year.

If a student fails in the annual examination, he/she will be given additional instructions and granted opportunity for re-examination within a period of two months from the date of declaration of the result of the annual examination.
