Monitoring & Examinations

At Nkhwazi, we place strong emphasis on both ongoing assessment and formal examinations to ensure our pupils are well-prepared academically.

• Continuous assessments are conducted in reading, English, and mathematics to monitor progress and guide instruction.
• Formal examinations are administered twice a year — in July and November — to evaluate cumulative learning.
• Grade 7 pupils sit the national selection examination for entry into Grade 8.
• Our Grade 7 results are consistently among the highest in Lusaka, reflecting both academic rigour and effective preparation.
