At our school, we follow a structured and fair promotion procedure to ensure that students are progressing at an appropriate pace in their academic journey. Our promotion policy takes into account the overall performance, effort, and readiness of the students to move to the next grade level.

1. Academic Performance

• Assessment Criteria: Students are evaluated based on regular assignments, unit tests, mid-term and final examinations, and overall academic performance throughout the academic year.
• Grade Requirements: A student must meet the minimum grade requirements in key subjects to be eligible for promotion. This includes a satisfactory performance in core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
• Consistency in Performance: Continuous assessment is key. Consistent effort and improvement over the course of the year are considered when deciding promotions.

2. Attendance

• Minimum Attendance Requirement: A student must have a minimum attendance rate (usually around 75%) during the academic year to be considered for promotion. This ensures that the student has been present for enough lessons to grasp the content required for the next grade.
• Leave Approval: Any extended leave must be communicated and approved in advance, and medical certificates are required for absence due to illness.

3. Teacher’s Evaluation and Feedback

• Holistic Assessment: Teachers provide evaluations not only on academic progress but also on a student’s behavior, attitude, and participation in class activities. This includes social interaction, effort, and willingness to improve.
• Parent-Teacher Conferences: Regular parent-teacher meetings are held to discuss the child’s progress. If there are any concerns regarding the student’s readiness for promotion, they are communicated to the parents well in advance.

4. Remedial Support

• Intervention and Support: If a student is struggling in one or more subjects, remedial support will be provided through extra classes, one-on-one tutoring, and learning resources. If the student shows improvement after receiving support, they may still be promoted to the next grade.
• Final Evaluation: If a student’s performance remains below the required standard after remedial support, the school may offer additional assessments or suggest repeating the year to ensure the student has mastered the necessary skills.

5. Special Considerations

• Personal or Family Circumstances: In certain situations, the school may take into account personal or family circumstances that may have impacted the student’s performance. These cases are handled on an individual basis.
• Grade-Specific Guidelines: For students in crucial transition years (such as from 10th to 11th grade or 12th grade), the school ensures that they have achieved the necessary qualifications for the next stage of their academic career.

6. Final Decision

• Promotion Notification: After considering all academic, attendance, and teacher assessments, a final decision will be made, and parents will be notified of the promotion results.
• Documenting Progress: If a student is not promoted, a detailed report will be provided, explaining the areas of concern and offering a plan for improvement.

Important Notes:

• Appeal Process: If parents feel the promotion decision is not in line with the student’s abilities or circumstances, they can appeal the decision by discussing it with the school administration.
• Encouraging Growth: Our primary goal is to ensure that students are receiving the support they need to succeed, and that they are academically and emotionally ready for the challenges of the next grade level.
