Types Of Assessment

 

At BFIS, we recognize that assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning, as it identifies what pupils already know and what their next steps should be. It is used to guide future planning, teaching and curriculum development, whilst informing parents of pupil achievement.

• Class/ End of units Tests
• Mid-Term Examination (Terms 1 & 2)
• End of term examination (Terms 1 & 2)
• External Examination (Federal & Edexcel Boards)

 

Formative assessments are done on regular basis as teachers observe, monitor and give quality feedback to the students to help them improve their work. End of term summative assessments measure and evaluate the depth of understanding a student has. Students of Matric and FSc are assessed externally by Federal Board Pakistan, whereas IGCSE and IAL students are assessed by Pearson, U.K. In addition to these, the students at BFIS take PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS exams as well.

 

 Reports

Monthly and Terminal Reports promote and provide:

• Information for parents
• Child’s academic achievements
• Information for the child’s next phase in education
• An opportunity for further discussion with parents
• Information for outside agencies
• Targets for the children

Terminal reports are sent to the parents twice a year. Whereas, formative assessments reports are sent at the end of every month. Reports outline a child’s progress in the core and foundation subjects of the School Curriculum. BFIS aims to have no surprises in the report, as parents are kept regularly informed of progress and any behavioral issues through monthly reports.

 

Overall Assessment (KG & 1-10-IGCSE)

 

Kindergarten assessment is based on the day-to-day performance of the child. A record of individual student attainment and progress is maintained through an on-going system of spaced oral and written activities and parents are regularly apprised of the same. Students progress is tracked on a regular basis.

For 1 to 10 IGCSE there will be TWO term examinations. Academic achievements reports are prepared on the basis of formative & summative assessments which include MCQs, Skills, Class activities & tests, Projects and terminal exams.
