NURSERY & PREP

Assessment of Nursery and Prep is based on continuous evaluation by observation and gathering evidence during learning.

 

CLASSES 1 TO 3

For classes 1 to 3, assessment is made on the basis of discussion, observation and lesson outputs. Cambridge has computer-based assessments called CEM, which are optional, to help identify and diagnose learning needs, measuring and benchmarking learners’ potential.

 

CLASS 4

For Class 4 and 5, there are two formative assessment cycles in the academic year as well as two summative assessments (September 2022 and March 2023) based on the Cambridge curriculum to identify learners’ potential and progress.

The distribution of marks will be:

Formative Assessment (1+2) = 20%

Summative Assessment I       = 40%

Summative Assessment II      = 40%

Final Assessment                     = 100%

The pass percentage will be 40%.

 

Cambridge Early Years was started by Cambridge Assessment in 2020 and is the beginning of an exciting educational journey for learners of Grades Nursery and Prep.  The holistic curriculum encourages learners to develop knowledge, understanding and skills that allow for a solid foundation to the Cambridge curriculum.

Since the curriculum has been developed with the professional support of Indian and international experts in this area, the curriculum allows for physical, social, emotional and cultural development. At DPS International, learners of Nursery and Prep will be doing the Early Years curriculum to allow for smooth transition to the Cambridge Primary that starts in Grade 1. 

 

The Cambridge Primary starts in Grade 1 and continues till Grade 5. Inculcating a love of learning and a spirit of enquiry, Cambridge Primary is the perfect beginning for a lifelong learner which is one of the tenets of Cambridge. With a cache of 10 subjects covering English, Mathematics, Science, Art and Design, Global Perspectives, Computing, Digital Literacy, Music and Physical Education, Cambridge Primary provides a holistic education to learners. There is a Primary Checkpoint at the end of Grade 5. Cambridge Primary Checkpoint is a diagnostic test to ascertain the skills of a child and reports from Cambridge allow educators to monitor their learning group to develop particular aspects that need attention.

The Cambridge Primary will be introduced in Grades 1 to 4 at DPS International, effective April 2022. This being the first year of Cambridge Primary at DPS International, DPS International will be offering Cambridge Primary English, Cambridge Primary Mathematics, Cambridge Primary Science and Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives. Over the years, more subjects will be added on so that learners are in sync with the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme.
