Scheme Of Assessment
PRE-PRIMARY
At GGS, we believe that young children thrive when they are engaged in games and activities, and that is why we use the play-way method to enhance their innate skills. Each month, we conduct four evaluations that are designed to motivate the children, rather than just assessing their progress. We choose a theme around which we design fun activities and games that encourage them to learn and grow. Those who excel in these evaluations are awarded “Well Done” cards, which gives them a sense of accomplishment and motivation.
The culmination of the year-long learning is evaluated through the Creative Assessment Test, which is a comprehensive assessment of the knowledge and skills acquired by the children throughout the year. At GGS, we believe in assessing the overall development of the child, rather than just their academic performance.
GRADE I TO VIII
In the academic year, students from grades I to VIII undertake four written assessments using pen and paper. These include two unit tests, a half-yearly examination and an annual examination. The unit tests are 40 marks each, and the half-yearly and annual examinations are 80 marks each. Along with the written assessments, an internal evaluation of 20 marks is carried out to assess the students’ performance in co-scholastic areas and project work. The assessment pattern has been designed in line with grades IX and X to ensure that students are well-equipped for the board exams.

• Any student failing to attain the required norms will be asked to provide undertaking from parent for re-test.
• If a student passes the re-test, he/she will be allowed to continue in next Grade, otherwise will repeat the same Grade.
CBSE - UNIFORM SYSTEM OF ASSESSMENT
To ensure a uniform pattern through Grades VI – XII the same assessment structure is followed by the school. This conditions the learners for Grade X & XI CBSE pattern of examination / assessment. It also ensures quality of education throughout their formative years. The Grade IX and XI report card follows the same format as the Grade X and XII issued by the CBSE. This has been in practice as per CBSE norms.
