P2 Assessment @ WRPS

School will continue to use assessments formatively

to move pupils’ learning forward and develop in

students a greater intrinsic motivation to learn.

No weighted assessments for P1 and P2 ( i.e. No %

of marks that will go towards an overall score)

Adopt a range of assessment tools such as writing

tasks, performance–based tasks and topical reviews

to provide information of pupils’ mastery of concepts

and skills throughout the year.

P2 School Based Assessment @ P2

Teachers will gauge the learning progress of pupils

and provide timely feedback and support needed to

help them improve.

Qualitative descriptors will be used to report mastery

of learning at P1 and P2 instead of marks and / orgrades.

Holistic Development Profile ( HDP)

Edusave Merit Bursary ( EMB) and Good Progress Award (GPA)

Edusave Merit Bursary ( EMB) and Good Progress Award (GPA)

As there will be no overall score ( marks), pupils will be nominated for EMB or

GPA based on Learning Dispositions observed by their class teachers in the

course of the year.

LEARNING DISPOSITIONS are positive behaviours and attitudes towards

learning. They are important for children in their journey as life-long learners

and they support children’s learning and development in the various learning

areas.

For example, if learning dispositions are:

Perseverance

Children with perseverance keep working at a task to complete it.

They do not give up even though they find it challenging.

Engagement

Children who are engaged are immersed in learning and enjoy what they do.

They proactively seek new opportunities for learning.

Pupils move from P1 to P2 en bloc as its viewed as one

lower primary block.

At the end of P2, pupils will be channelled to Primary 3

classes taking into account academic as well as non-

academic considerations to ensure the following:

customise curriculum and learning pace to meet pupil

needs

enable better social mixing

Pupils will be supported through in-class strategies and

resources, pull-out intervention strategies, enrichment

programmes and activities.
