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 regular basis and a comprehensive progress report is given to parents twice a year.

In our school, assessments are done for learning and learning is not done for assessments. Students are assessed in scholastic and co-scholastic areas throughout the year. The progress of the student is judged through continuous academic performance during the year and comprehensive evaluation.

A new Assessment policy has been implemented by CBSE. This new scheme will bring the uniformity in the system of assessment and examination for classes IX and X in all the CBSE affiliated schools.

To increase the confidence in the students to start preparing for class X Board examination the scheme for classes VI-VIII has been designed on Term Assessment basis with gradual increase in the learning as the students move forward. This would prepare the students to cover the whole syllabus of the academic year and face the challenge of class X Board examination, and would thus, ensure the ‘quality of education’.

The promotion of student from one grade to another should be based on students’ ability, academic performance and attendance.
