ASSESSMENT

We believe in a formative approach to assessment, starting in Pre-School with regular observations, carried out in partnership with home and school, through our online platform. This involves children identifying their ‘next steps,’ which are communicated regularly through written reports and online / in person parent meetings across the year.

End of term or ‘unit’ assessments are carried out in our core subjects (as well as in Arabic, Islamic and Qatar History), but these help to provide evidence and are not the ‘defining grade.’ Through our outstanding teaching, we know your children, and therefore professional judgements, communicated clearly and regularly with you is what we believe is best.

Placing importance, as we do, on our moral values and learning dispositions, we also regularly ‘assess’ how pupils in the later years of school (Years 4, 5 & 6) are performing in relation to these, alongside the curriculum skills and objectives that they are investigating through our thematic approach. This helps to provide evidence for children in relation to the well-rounded education on which we pride ourselves. We aim to help children grow into role models, rich in character.
