We emphasize transparent and ongoing communication regarding student progress. Our structured reporting process culminates in an end-of-year evaluation, focusing on three pivotal areas:
Assessment Areas at VGA
Types of Reports
The end-of-year report in June forms part of the decision on whether to approve each child's promotion into the next Year's Group in September. Student's work THROUGHOUT THE YEAR will be taken into consideration when making this decision.
- Ongoing Feedback
Weekly formative assessments offer insights into a student's comprehension and skill development. While these do not carry formal grades, parents receive monthly summaries detailing their child's progress and growth areas. - End-of-Year Report
Issued in June, this comprehensive report encapsulates a student's learning journey, achievements, skill enhancements, and areas necessitating improvement. This report, in conjunction with the student's cumulative work, informs decisions regarding promotion to the subsequent grade level in September.
Attainment

Parental Engagement
Parents are encouraged to engage with their child's Mentor through a secure communication channel available in the Parent Portal, accessible post the initial fee installment. This platform facilitates discussions and addresses any queries concerning the student's progress.Maintaining Assessment Integrity
We uphold a foundation of trust between home and school to ensure assessments authentically represent the student's independent efforts. Our technological measures and established protocols safeguard the integrity of online assessments, and we solicit parental support in upholding these standards. Oral assessments further enable students to articulate their reasoning, offering deeper insights into their understanding.IGCSE and A-Level Examinations
It is important to note that final IGCSE and A-Level examinations are administered under Cambridge International's formal conditions at accredited examination centers, such as British Council venues, and are not conducted online.
