CCE Evaluation
The school follows a Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation system. The term CCE means Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation, where assessment is not mechanical by way of written tests and assignments but is based on assessment conducted in both formal and informal settings which are interesting, relevant and meaningful to the learners. The two forms of assessments are Formative and Summative. Formative Assessment is developmental and diagnostic in nature whereby, the teacher is able to assess the learners' efforts, performance, attitude towards learning and ability to apply it, in everyday situations. Formative Assessment also identifies areas of learning difficulty of students and provides remedial measures to improve the students learning. To ensure uniformity in performance and to inculcate the habit of lifelong learning in pupils, Home assignments, Project works, Lab activities, class tests, and General speaking skills are assessed periodically. All results are recorded in the student's report card and parents are informed about their ward's progress throughout the year. This enables them to interact with the ward's teacher, so that all can work in unison for the betterment of student. Summative Assessment is the procedure of assessment of a learner in a certain period of time. It is usually a pen-paper test and is carried out at the end of a term. It sums up how much a student has learned. It is cumulative and traditional in nature.
