At Irving’s Park Smart School, Morinda (IPSS), assessment is an integral part of the learning process and not merely a measure of marks. Our evaluation system is designed to support learning, identify strengths, and guide improvement, in alignment with CBSE’s competency-based education framework.
We believe that assessment should help students learn better, not create stress.
🔍 Our Assessment Philosophy
We follow a continuous, comprehensive and child-friendly assessment system that:
• Focuses on understanding and application rather than memorisation
• Encourages concept clarity and skill development
• Supports every learner through timely feedback
