Assessment & Evaluation

Assessing for Real Understanding

We assess for learning, not just for grades. From a short, friendly entrance assessment when your child joins, through regular, meaningful feedback at every stage, to preparation for national examinations in High School, progress at King’s is something you can see and understand.

Assessment for Learning
Every Child’s
Next Step
Our Approach

Assessing for Learning, Not Just for Grades

Assessment at King’s is part of everyday learning. Teachers follow each child’s progress in lessons throughout the year, so every student knows their next step — and every family knows how to help at home.

01

Continuous Classroom Assessment

Learning is checked in everyday lessons, not only in end-of-term exams.

02

Regular, Meaningful Feedback

Clear feedback helps every child know their next step.

03

Support and Extension

Every child is appropriately challenged — supported where they need it, stretched when they are ready.

What We Look For

Understanding Over Memorisation

Our curriculum is taught for genuine understanding, so that is what we look for — how students think, question and grow, not just what they can remember.

Genuine Understanding

Students show what they understand, not only what they have memorised.

Inquiry

Students ask questions, investigate and discover — building thinkers, not just test-takers.

Participation

Our classrooms are built for participation rather than performance: students are encouraged to try, to be wrong out loud, and to try again.

Steady Progress

Strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and science, built with steady progress at every stage.

Every Stage

From First Day to Final Exams

From Kindergarten to Grade 12, assessment grows with your child — the right challenge and care at every age.
