English, Hindi, Urdu, Mathematics, Science, Social Science are being taught in every class. If the performance of any student is considered highly unsatisfactory, he/she may be asked to repeat the same class. Students with poor performance and poor attendance (less than 75%) may hardly be allowed to continue.

The students are watched very keenly whether their performance is up to the mark or not. This is done by regular classroom teaching, homework, assignments, projects, activities, quizzes, class work, field trips, educational tours, tests, formative and summative assessment right from class one. Assessments are both written and oral.

NFK Blakdale Girls School prepares students in accordance with the syllabus prescribed by the CBSE from time to time and therefore we follow the CBSE Curriculum in the school. NCERT books supplemented with other publications are prescribed in all classes. Additionally, the school has ‘Smart Classes’ teaching in all the sections of the school.

 

Examination and Evaluation: The school based Assessment is divided into three parts:

 

Evaluation of Scholastic Aspects (Academic Subjects): consists of the academic performance of the student. It will be reflected in the form of grades and percentile ranks. Two terms have been suggested during a year, each term will carry two Formative and one Summative Assessments. The grading scale for scholastic domain is a nine point scale based on direct grading.

 

Total Formative Assessments in the Year = FA1+FA2+FA3+FA4 = 40%

Total Summative Assessments in the Year = SA1+SA2 = 60

Total of two terms in the Year = 100% (40% + 60%)

Students’ Co-Curricular Activities: Stage acting, Dramatics, Debate, Elocution, Quiz, Painting, Arts & Crafts, Sports etc are some of the areas for the students to draw out their hidden talents and capabilities. We try our level best to give each and every student to take part in different activities and prepare them for their bright future academically and co-academically. Charts & Models i.e. display boards are fixed both in the classes as well as outside classes to show their talents in this regard.
