Holistic Assessment for Primary 1 pupils in 2011

In 2011, P1 pupils in 2011 will not be sitting for the usual SA1 and SA2 exams. In short, no exams.

As a replacement, EDP is embarking on what we called our EDP Whole Year Assessment.

What does this mean?

The pupils will be assessed throughout the year. There will be various forms of assessment. To replace the termly examinations, we now have:

Diagnostic Tests
Math Journal
Performance Tasks
Topical Tests

In term 1, as pupils are familiarising themselves with primary school life, the assessments will not be included into the overall marks at the end of the year.

See below for the assessment weightings for P1 Math in 2011.
