What this product means for your school

The Non-CAPS Formula Maintenance Plan is designed for non-DBE schools that follow alternative curricula such as IEB, SACAI, or Cambridge. This plan supports the creation and maintenance of customised subject-specific assessment formulas that do not follow standard departmental (CAPS/DOE) presets.

The OSM team builds the formulas based on your school’s specific requirements, ensuring that assessment structures align with your chosen curriculum.

What the OSM team does

When your school is on this plan, the OSM team will assist with:

• Manually building custom subject-specific formulas based on school requirements.

• Configuring assessments, tasks, and weightings as provided by the school.

• Maintaining and adjusting formulas throughout the academic year as requested.

All formulas are fully custom-built and require detailed input from the school to ensure the correct setup and calculation structure.

Important notes

• The school must provide all required details, including tasks, assessments, and weightings.

• Formulas can be adjusted at any time during the year based on school requirements.

• This plan does not use standard CAPS/DOE presets.

• This plan does not include pre-school grades such as Grade RRRR or Grade RRR.

• It is only applicable to non-DBE curriculum schools (for example IEB, SACAI, or Cambridge).
