Dear P4 Parents / Guardians,
SCHOOL ASSESSMENT 2021
Assessment forms an integral part of teaching and learning for our teachers to monitor their students’ learning progress and to enable them to take corrective measures where necessary. The school carries out formative as well as summative assessments to identify learning gaps and provide rich qualitative feedback to students.
Formative assessments would be carried out throughout the year while the summative assessment would only be conducted in Term 2 and Term 4. To help you better support your child/ward in their learning, the following documents are attached for your reference:
1. Annex A – Assessment Schedules 2. Annex B – Assessment format and topics 3. Annex C – Holistic Assessment Plan
Please refer to our school’s Communication Book for more information on the school’s Assessment Policy, Assessment Practices and Weightings.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely, Mr Victor Tan Principal
