Assessments
Why Assessments?
Planetarium International School (PISM) see Assessment as central to delivering a high quality education. Assessment allows teachers, the school and students themselves to evaluate, recognise and grade student achievements and progress, and allows teachers to evaluate and adapt their teaching and measure how successfully they are delivering the curriculum.
Effective assessment enables students to make smooth progress through school. PISM, use assessment to adapt our curriculum around the needs, capabilities and aspirations of our students, to fulfil the objectives of the subjects and to plan and strengthen learning.
A student will be assessed throughout the year, both formally and informally. All student work is marked at PISM and guidance is given to each student on strengths and areas for development.
