In the primary school environment, assessment serves as a crucial tool for teachers to gauge the learning progress of each student and the class collectively. This enables teachers to tailor their instructional methods effectively and timeously. The smaller size of our classes facilitates this. The process of providing feedback to students is integral in fostering self-reflection and the growth of metacognitive abilities. Students in the primary school are assessed on an ongoing basis via a number of formal and informal assessment techniques, including:
In addition, the annual examinations are carefully designed to evaluate students’ advancement through the Creators curriculum, focusing on their skillset, knowledge acquisition, and critical thinking capabilities.
In middle school, where academic disciplines are more specialised, the role of assessment in education becomes increasingly significant. While the annual examinations that measure learning outcomes are essential as students advance toward their IGCSE, it is the assessments that support learning which are crucial for tracking student progress, fostering growth, and building self-assurance. These assessments include:
Teachers also utilise this variety of ongoing assessment strategies to shape and refine their teaching methodologies and identify areas where support is needed.
Within our senior school, continuous assessment and constructive feedback play a pivotal role in ensuring every student’s path to achievement. Assignments, coursework, tests, projects, debates, and discussions serve as crucial touchpoints for teachers’ guidance and students’ introspection. Our curriculum goes beyond the tangible benchmarks of test scores to embrace a broad range of scholarly activities that deepen academic inquiry. These activities include:
It is a requirement for all students to accomplish a substantial research project in the STEM field before concluding their studies at Creators. This project aligns with their personal passions and interests and serves as significant evidence of their mastery of their chosen research field. The school provides dedicated time within and outside the regular class schedule for students to complete this research endeavour.
Yes, annual examinations are one of the many assessment tools that we use to provide feedback for teachers, students and parents/guardians about student progress.
In Year 10 our students write the Cambridge IGCSE examinations and in Year 13 they write the Cambridge A-level examinations.
Smaller class sizes allow for more personalised attention and tailored feedback, enhancing the effectiveness of both teaching and learning.
Yes, our teachers guide our students on how to go about choosing an interesting and meaningful topic that resonates with their interests. Teachers also provide training in research methodologies.
The STEM research initiative represents the apex of our students’ educational journey, providing a platform for them to showcase their passion and mastery in a specialised area. The competencies developed through this project will not only serve as a foundation for future scholarly pursuits but also bolster their higher education applications by showcasing a substantial body of research work.
Written progress reports are made available to parents/guardians at both half-term and end of term
