Assessment
Teachers make planned, regular assessments in order to monitor the development of every student in The English School Fahaheel.
Parents are invited to an Open Day each term and annual written reports are sent home to indicate their children's progress throughout the academic year. In addition, teachers are most willing to talk with parents at any time, upon arrangement with the School Office. An appropriate time and the consultation room will be allocated for their confidential discussion.
In the Early Years an Entry Profile or Baseline Assessment is used to assess each child in the first month of schooling, followed by the summative and final assessment prior to entry into Reception Year, where teachers monitor children's progress very carefully. At the end of the academic year, Reception Year children are given NFER tests, in Literacy and Numeracy, which results are passed to the Primary Department.
Assessment and Reporting in the Primary Department incorporate regular classroom-set tests for English and Mathematics. In KS2 there are mid-year and end-of-year tests for the main subject areas, together with standardised tests to monitor each pupil's progress. At the end of Year 6 pupils undertake the CAT3 assessments to monitor their integration into the Secondary Department.
Throughout the Secondary Department student progress is monitored by an assessment profile of each student. Teaching staff use this information when planning coursework. All subjects have comprehensive schemes of work underpinned by formal and very through assessment in school-based examinations. These lead to IGCSE examination in Years 10 to 11, and AS/A2 examinations in year 11, 12 and 13.
