Assessments And Evaluation
The school follows the CBSE’s pattern of assessment. From the year 2017-18, the school will follow the revised pattern of assessment for class’s I-X. The final assessment will cover the complete syllabus of the year for classes IX and X. The other classes will have selected topics from different parts of the syllabus, gradually preparing them for examination covering the complete syllabus. The academics session is from April to March. The session has three assessments (periodic tests) and a comprehensive annual examination at the end of the year. Written work is only one of the many ways of assessing a child. Even the written work, the teacher takes into account the quality, accuracy, neatness and efficiency with which the work is done. Besides the written task, students are graded for their response in class and participation in all class activities.
They are expected to express their thoughts freely and confidently. The teacher also takes into account honesty, creativity and originality of each child in allotting grades. Hence, assessment is based on the all round growth and development of the child from different angles. Annual awards at the end of the session will also be given on this basis the format for recording attendance and Academic performance has been provided in the school handbook and students are encouraged to update it and keep a track of their progress. Parents are required to sign the answer scripts of their child in child in each subject, after each test/examination, so that they are aware of their child’s performance and are in a better position to discuss the same with the teacher.{However, answer scripts of the final examination will not, under any circumstances, be shown to the parents} Promotions are decided in consultation with class/subject teachers at the end of the academic session.
The results declared at the end of the are final. The results of tests and examinations are communicated to parents by means of progress Report cards/mark statements. Class X and XII will appear for board examinations at the end of the year and the results are declared by the CBSE.
