Programme Assessment
Student assessment within the Middle School Programme is of two types, each with a specific function.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is used to measure periodically the progress and effect of studies and see to what extent the objectives have been achieved. Thus, informed, teachers are able to make any adjustments necessary to their teaching methods and students can judge their progress, noting any gaps which remain.
Summative assessment
Summative assessment takes place at the end of the programme and provides a summary of the objectives achieved. The purpose of the summative assessment is to show the final achievement of the individual student in relation to the specific objectives.
The Middle School Curriculum culminates in the University of Cambridge International Examination in Grades 9 and 10.
