Assessment Framework

Diagram comparing summative and formative assessments, covering weighted grades, feedback, and student reflection.

The school adopts a balanced assessment approach comprising formative and bite-sized summative assessments.

  • Formative assessments support teaching and learning and are not weighted.

  • Summative assessments summarise students’ attainment of curriculum outcomes and are weighted.

For Primary 1 and 2, assessment focuses on formative practices rather than weighted assessments. These assessments do not contribute to an overall score. Students’ learning progress and achievement are captured using qualitative descriptors in the Holistic Development Profile at the end of each semester.
