Assessment in Foundational years

Nursery

In Nursery, assessment is ongoing and continuous, based on observations. Teachers record anecdotes to track each child’s progress. The focus at this stage is on helping children adjust to the school environment and prepare for a more structured learning experience. Learning happens through play-based activities within the school, allowing children to develop at their own pace, with no pressure on either parents or children. The assessment is skill-based, focusing on growth and adjustment rather than knowledge or concepts.

Detailed reporting will take place twice a year, at the end of each term. Periodic parent-teacher meetings (PTMs) will be held, where parents can meet with teachers to receive feedback and discuss their child’s development.

Prep – Class 2

In Classes Prep to 2, there will be no formal assessments. Instead, the assessment process will be ongoing and informal, based on regular observations of the children’s progress. Teachers will evaluate their development through classwork, worksheets, and daily interactions, ensuring a stress-free and supportive learning environment.

Reporting will occur four times a year, at the end of each learning cycle. In Learning Cycles 1 and 3, the focus will primarily be on language skills and math. For Learning Cycles 2 and 4, detailed term-end report cards will be shared, covering all aspects of the child’s learning and development.

Assessment in Preparatory years

Classes 3 -5

In Classes 3 to 5, formal assessments are introduced. Dates will be shared approximately two weeks in advance, as these assessments do not require extensive preparation. Regular review of classwork and homework is encouraged to build consistent learning habits.

The focus will be on application-based and logical questions to promote understanding and critical thinking, rather than memory-based tasks.

Reporting will happen four times a year. Learning Cycles 1 and 3 will focus on progress in language and math, while Cycles 2 and 4 will include detailed term-end reports covering all areas of learning.

75% attendance is mandatory for promotion to the next class.

Students will need to pass the Class V assessments in order to be promoted to Class VI.
