PROMOTION POLICY AS PER CBSE GUIDELINES

Prep to Class 5

Continuous and comprehensive evaluation in elementary and primary school is a tool of diagnosis and remedial action. The test result indicates the level of proficiency and areas of improvement for the child.

In case a student is found struggling with the curriculum and consistently does not show any improvement at all, personal meetings with the parents to counsel them about their child.

Remedial measures are to be taken along with regular counseling and followup so that the child attains the minimum required score of grade “D”. In case the parent feels that the child needs to repeat the class as he/she is not able to cope up, a request for the same can be raised to the school through written communication.
