School Curriculum

The curriculum incorporates NEP 2020 in its educational approach and the most effective pedagogical practices. It represents a
process of revision that is both evolutionary and developmental. It is designed to cater for the needs of children in the modern world.
The curriculum acknowledges that children live in and are a part of society and that their personal development is deeply affected
by their relationships at home and with other people in the society. The curriculum takes full account of these aspects of the child’s
life in seeking to balance individual and social development, in developing an appreciation of how the different dimensions of life
complement each other, and in helping the child to work co-operatively with others.
An important goal of the curriculum is to enable children to learn how to learn, and to develop an appreciation of the value and
practice of lifelong learning. The curriculum aims to instil love for learning that will remain with the child through all stages of
formal education and that will express itself in an enquiring mind and a heightened curiosity .

Assessment Pattern

Assessment is central to the process of teaching and learning. It is used to monitor learning processes and to ascertain achievement
in each area of the curriculum. Through assessment the teacher constructs a comprehensive picture of the short-term and long-term
learning needs of the child and plans future work accordingly. Assessment is also used to identify children with specific learning
difficulties so that the nature of the support and assistance they need can be ascertained and appropriate strategies and programmes
put in place to enable them to cope with the particular difficulties they are encountering.
Assessment assists communication about children’s progress and development between teacher and child, between teacher and
parent, and between teacher and teacher. It helps the child to become more self-aware as a learner and to develop powers of self-
assessment. It also helps to ensure quality in education.
