B. Weighted Scoring System & Thresholds

Streaming decisions use a weighted scoring system combining Grade 9 Internal, Grade 10 Internal, and Grade 10 National Exam results.

Component	Description	Weight
Grade 9 Internal	School-based assessment	20%
Grade 10 Internal	Continuous assessment	30%
Grade 10 National Exam	External exam	50%

Key Thresholds:

• Math ≥ UP & Science ≥ C → Science Stream
• SocSci OR Business ≥ UP → Social Science Stream
• Math ≥ D, C → Advanced Math
• Math = UP → General Math

C. Science Stream – Decision Logic

If Math ≥ UP & Science ≥ C, student enters Science Stream.

Science Stream Classes:

• Class A – Top Science Index, Advanced Math
• Class B – Strong Science Index, Advanced Math
• Class C1 – Solid Science Index, Advanced Math
• Class C2 – Science Stream with General Math

Agriculture may be used to distinguish Class A vs B.

D. Social Science Stream – Decision Logic

If a student does not meet the Science Stream threshold, the system checks if SocSci OR Business ≥ UP. If yes, they enter Social Science Stream.

Social Science Stream Classes:

• Class E1, E2 – Business Profile dominant (EBP > GHP)
• Class D1, D2, F – Social Science Profile dominant (GHP > EBP)

SSI (Social Science Index) is used to distinguish borderline cases between D2 and F.

E. Class Balancing, Implementation & Downloads

Class Balancing Logic

• Balanced class sizes
• Gender distribution
• Academic spread

2026 Assessment Policy – Strengthening Fairness, Transparency & Academic Integrity

Margarima Secondary School proudly announces the release of the 2026 Assessment Policy, a landmark document designed to bring structure, fairness, and accountability to all academic evaluations. This policy responds to long-standing concerns about inconsistent assessment practices and sets a new standard for transparency and professionalism.

Assessment is a fundamental aspect of education and serves as a cornerstone in evaluating both teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes. At Margarima Secondary School, the development of a structured assessment policy is crucial—especially considering the school’s unique context, including its staffing, resources, location, and environmental conditions.

For many years, the school has grappled with controversies surrounding student academic achievements due to ad-hoc and unstructured assessment methods. These concerns—raised by students, parents, and teachers—stemmed from practices that lacked fairness, transparency, and accountability. The 2026 Assessment Policy marks a pivotal shift.

To guide implementation, Margarima Secondary School adopts the acronym TRACE, representing the five core values that underpin its assessment strategy.

TRACE – Our Five Pillars of Assessment Excellence

T — Transparency

Clear expectations, clear criteria, and clear communication. Students, teachers, and parents understand how assessments are designed, marked, and used.

R — Respect & Fairness

Assessments honour diverse abilities and follow balanced Task Specification Plans (TSPs). Every student receives an equal opportunity to demonstrate learning.

A — Accountability

Marks must reflect real performance. Teachers justify awarded marks with evidence and uphold professional standards.

C — Consistency & Continuous Improvement

Uniform assessment standards across all grades. Data is used to refine teaching and improve learning outcomes.

E — Effective Communication

Feedback flows clearly between teachers, students, and parents. Report cards, record cards, and conferences strengthen understanding and support.
