Somerville School

The academic year is divided into two terms. The pupil's progress is assessed throughout the year through Formative Assessments (pen and paper tests, oral and group activities etc.) and at the end of each term through Summative Assessments.

Please Note :

Pupils are required to appear for all the examinations as scheduled. In case of absence due to illness, a doctor's certificate supported by medical prescriptions will be required. Absence for any other reason will not be condoned.
If a student misses the final examination due to illness, he / she must appear for a re-test to be conducted on a later date.
A student who uses unfair means will be given a zero in the subject and will not be re-examined.
