Teacher opinions
International benchmark tests and internal assessments
Parental survey feedback
Behaviour reports and attendance records
When a school demonstrates 'sustained high attainment,' it means:
Every student is performing at an exemplary level
Attainment is consistent over several years and among different cohorts
Students with special needs show no measurable gaps
Attainment only improves during inspections
Which of these is a challenge schools may face in measuring student attainment and progress accurately?
High turnover of teachers
Availability of international curricula
Changes in assessment policies

KHDA evaluates schools based on how they ‘close the gap’ between:

By relying exclusively on teacher-generated data
By incorporating external benchmarking alongside internal measures
By focusing solely on subjective student experiences
By using one-off testing data
