Assessment is an

important aspect of teaching and learning

and it should be effectively

used to support the holistic development of our pupils

We want to focus our assessment practices beyond summative evaluation and move towards a more holistic approach

Essentially, HA refers to the activities undertaken by teachers and pupils that provides information to be used as feedback to : • Find out whether pupils have learned and how well they have learned • Provide inputs to help learners improve

Holistic Assessment to support learning

With these feedback, it will also enable parents to support their children’s development and growth

A range of assessment strategies

used such as questioning, giving of

feedback, peer and
