Assessment

Assessment

For all grades, the boundary between satisfactory and unsatisfactory is 5.50. In the mixed classes of the first grade, the boundary for progression to a higher level is 7.50 per subject, with the exception of drama, physical education and music.

School performance is not only assessed with grades. The student’s attitude to learning is assessed with letters: g = good, v = voldoende (satisfactory), z = zwak (weak) and o = onvoldoende (unsatisfactory).

If a student does not meet the promotion standard, they may be referred to another form of education, after consultation and a vote at the final meeting. The promotion standards can be found on our website.

Student tracking system

To provide a clear overview of individual performance, we use SOMtoday, an electronic school information system that displays all test and exam results with dates. Both students and parents/guardians have access to SOMtoday.

Students aged 18 and older can decide for themselves whether or not to give their parents/guardians access. In addition to their report card, upper school students receive an overview of the status of their exam file twice a year.

Two report periods

The school year is divided into two semesters. After each semester, the student receives a report on the previous period. This report is placed in a report folder. The report belongs to the student and must be signed by the parent(s)/guardian(s), after which the student must return it to the learning coach within one week of the report being issued.
