halves (but no other fractions) may be used


Explanation:
Note that 0.5 is NOT a fraction, the corresponding fraction is 1/2.

The phrase "above or below" sounds very strange. All this means is that the allowable grades are 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, ... 19/2, 10. Hence my re-phrasing.

The full sentence might be best expressed as:
"All assessments are graded from 0 to 10 (with steps of one half)"
