Performance based learning

Performance based learning means:

  • All students are continually assessed from Year 6 to Year 9.
  • Grading is executed through the process of continuous assessment.
  • A range of assessment methods are used in combination with teachers' notes and observations from their lessons to ensure that students are professionally assessed in relation to the subject's goals.
  • Assessment and development conferences take place twice a year just prior to Mid-term conferences. The grade conference forum is utilised to disseminate academic student performance.
  • Students are assessed regularly and often thus alleviating the traumatic end of term exams scenario.
  • Grades are awarded in Years 8 and 9 at Christmas and in June.
  • Mid-term conferences (Often called SPT’s – Student, Parent, Teacher) are held twice a year. A `progress report card´, is given at SPT including written comments to indicate student progress.
  • The end goal of our schools is to create bi-lingual students proficient in the skills of Swedish and English who perform to their individual best.
