- Assessment is continuous and used in a formative sense to judge the effectiveness of both the learning and the teaching process (for identifying strengths and weaknesses). Both formative and cumulative assessment is consistent with the teaching methodology and curriculum.
- Emphasis is on the application of knowledge and skills rather than on the recall of facts.
- Students are assessed against defined criteria of assessment and not against other students (the school aims for criterion-referenced and not norm-referenced assessment).
- The school uses Report Cards and Parent Conferences as the method of formally reporting student progress to parents.
- A variety of indicators of student performance are used, as well as a range of assessment activities.
