Assessment Policy

Overseas Family School sees assessment as a tool to support and promote student learning and to accurately report student achievement.  We believe that students and parents are entitled to consistent, valid and reliable assessment information across all grades, subjects and classes.

Overseas Family School therefore:

Ensures that teachers, students and parents are well informed as to how student work is to be assessed.

Maintains detailed assessment records and uses these to provide valid student  achievement information to students and parents, both ongoing and at times of formal reporting.

Uses a range of tools for assessment, selecting practices that best promote student learning.

Structures assessments to allow all students to demonstrate their personal level of achievement and progress.

Implements procedures at all levels and in all subjects, to standardise assessment grading.  

Uses independent assessment to ensure validity of data for student tracking and reporting and also for further curriculum planning and delivery.

Values individual student assessment data and adapts classroom teaching and planning processes in response to the data.
