Pupils’ work is regularly marked and teachers will write comments and set
targets so pupils have regular guidance on how to make progress in that
subject. Pupils have regular tests in lessons to understand how well they
are progressing.
Each week students meet with their Class Teachers to review progress,
looking at books and files, and setting medium term targets to help guide
students and improve where necessary..
Reports are written at the end of each term and a grade card is given to
parents upon School Closing. On each closing Term, parents will come to
school for reviews and will discuss progress with teachers.
OUR APPROACH (HOW DO WE EXCEL)
Tusiime is a very special school which is both traditional and innovative, academic and caring, understanding and structured, industrious and with fun. We believe that a good school sets the work habits of a life time, and that student benefit from a positive and ordered environment where they develop a love of learning. We know that children only succeed when they feel confident and cared for, and that high quality pastoral care is essential
Tusiime School has a duty not just to educate for exams, but to prepare children for a fulfilling adult life. We are a co-educational school, and believe that in today’s world where men and women have the same career aspirations and work alongside each other, it is sensible and natural for boys and girls to be educated together, learning to respect one another as individuals. Important qualities such as empathy and emotional intelligence are best fostered in a co-ed environment where the emphasis is on valuing the individual. There is equality of opportunity for all Tusiime students irrespective of gender, and this is a school where anybody can achieve anything.
We have been a successful school for nearly 20 years because we never rest on our laurels, and we innovate in the best interests of our pupils. Information and communication technologies provide a multitude of exciting learning opportunities but in embracing new technologies we do not lose sight of essential and timeless skills.
