● The test paper will be marked and kept by the teacher as part of

the student’s record of performance. The test papers will not be

sent home.

‫السالم عليكم و رحمة ﷲ و بركاته‬ Teachers are instructed not to inform students of their test scores before
the report card has been issued, so please do not contact teachers for this
Dear parents, information.

Progress Tests : Lateness and Absence We appreciate your cooperation with us in ensuring that these progress
tests are conducted in an orderly fashion.
The school is operating a strict policy towards lateness and absence:
Thank you.
● Tests will begin punctually at 07:15 and will finish before
07:50; the test will not be allowed to continue into the next
period. Any student who arrives late for a test has in effect
reduced the amount of time he has to sit his test.

● Any absences on the day must be covered by a full medical

certificate authorising the absence. This must be presented on
the first day the student returns to school. Students may then be
offered a chance to sit the test he missed at the convenience of
the staff involved.

● Absences not covered by a medical certificate: If a reasonable

written excuse for the absence is presented to the school by the
parent within 48 hours of the test, the student may be offered an
opportunity to sit the test. However, he will only be able to
achieve a maximum of 80 % of the possible marks.

● Any absence where no written excuse is presented to the school

within 48 hours of the test, or the reason given is unacceptable,
the student will recorded as having scored zero for the test and
this will be reflected in his report card.

● There will be no re-sits for students who are unsatisfied with

their performance and wish to improve upon their first mark.
