Reporting and Progress - A culture of revision re-assesment and
               reflection.

               It involves reflecting upon the student’s learning, giving purposeful                   PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
               feedback about performances and setting new learning goals,
               using international academic benchmarks which facilitate rigorous

               teaching and learning. Individual setting of goals ensures that
                                                                                                                      REPORTING

               Standardised Grading. Qualitative Learning Measured Accurately.

               Student performance criteria are based on End-of-Course (EOC)
               or End-of-Year (EOY) assessments that measure the cumulative
                                                                                                                     ASSESSMENT
               amount of student learning that has occurred over a course or a

               year. This ensures that grades reflect student mastery and retention
               of the most important content and skills of the subject area.
               Wherever possible and reasonable, student performance criteria

               are growth-based measures of student learning. Attainment based
               measures will only be used wherever necessary and appropriate.
               All measures of student learning are based on assessments that are
               sufficiently aligned with the curriculum for the subject and grade.
