The school year is divided into four periods.
Students in grades 1 through 4 and vwo 5 receive a report card twice a year. This report is a record, represented in grades and ratings, of the student's performance throughout the year. Thus, all grades and ratings achieved continue to count in the report grade. It is therefore important for the student to continue to perform well throughout the year.
The teachers inform the students at the beginning of the school year exactly how the report grades for their subject are established and what the weighting is for each component. Via Magister, parents and students always have access to the weighting and establishment of report grades.
The first report midway through the school year will show the moving weighted average, rounded to one decimal place.
The final report, which is the basis for the promotion decision, will show the moving weighted average, rounded to a whole number. In determining this weighted average, the number obtained will be rounded down if the first decimal point is a 4 or less. The number is rounded up if the first decimal point is a 5 or higher. For example, 5.47 is rounded up to 5.
The students of havo 5 and vwo 6 receive twice a grade summary with the results obtained up to that point. Thus, they do not receive a report card, but an overview of marks obtained in the examination file.
Doubling
The basic principle is that a student will not repeat the same grade twice, in the same or a different department. It is not permitted to double a grade if the previous grade has also already been doubled.
