Assessment Excellence Programme

A growing number of schools are partnering with us through our Assessment Excellence Programme to deliver a 'whole-pupil' approach to assessment.

Partner Schools will use our assessments to gain a complete understanding of each individual learner’s needs including attitude, ability and attainment. This allows teachers to make informed teaching and learning decisions and to track progress effectively over time. It also provides evidence of progress to Ofsted and key stakeholders such as parents and governors.

Why become a Partner School?

Our bespoke partnerships ensure that we deliver the greatest possible outcomes for our Partner Schools, other schools and their pupils. Our Partner Schools also receive several benefits, including product discounts and complimentary invitations to our networking events.

You can work with us to support the delivery of events and workshops, provide case studies and testimonials, and contribute to research and development at GL Assessment depending on the level of support you are able to provide. Read more about our current Partner Schools.
