1. Assessment Criteria

• + Students will receive their annual grades based on their performance in various subjects throughout the academic year.
• A "U" grade (Semester 2 assessment) indicates that the student has not met the required standards in a particular subject and will struggle to meet the standards required for the next grade.

2. Promotion Policy for Grades 1-5

If a student receives an overall grade of 'U' in Grades 1-5, it indicates significant academic difficulties that may impact their ability to succeed in the next grade. In such cases:

• Parent Consultation: The parent/guardian will be called for a discussion to review the student's performance and understand the expectations of the next grade level.
• Retention Consideration: Based on the student's progress and challenges, either the teacher or the parent may suggest that the child repeat the current grade for an additional year to strengthen foundational learning.
• Formal Documentation: If the child is required to repeat the grade, an official email communication will be sent and recorded between the school and the parent.
• Parental Disagreement: If the parent does not agree with the recommendation for retention, the teacher, coordinator, Head of School, and Principal will provide detailed recommendations to support the child's learning. Parents will be expected to collaborate with the school and implement the suggested academic support strategies to ensure the child's progress.
