Examinations & Promotions

Examinations are conducted regularly, with four Formative Assessments (FA) and three Summative Assessments (SA) each year. The minimum average required for promotion is 50%.

Promotion is decided not only on the final examination but on the whole year's record, including terminal results and both curricular and co-curricular work. The time table for each test is communicated to students in advance.

Attendance at all examinations is compulsory. A pupil who is absent without a valid reason certified by a registered medical practitioner is awarded zero and is not re-examined. A pupil who does not have 90% attendance will not be allowed to sit for the final examination.

All cases of doubt regarding promotion are left to the discretion of the Headmistress; promotion refused will not be reconsidered.
