GL Assessment and Scotland

As part of the Curriculum for Excellence, schoolsneed to demonstrate pupil attainment, whatprogress they are making year-on-year and thatthey are on track to meet expectations.

Schools must also show the effect of intervention strategies andsupport plans on individual pupils. Our standardised assessmentscan provide key evidence in supporting a school’s tracking andmonitoring process.

They are:

■ One of the fairest and most accurate ways of benchmarkingpupils and tracking their progress

■ Clear indicators of how pupils’ performance compares with theirpeers across the UK

■ Tools that can help teachers deliver personalised learning

■ Simple and reliable evaluators of the impacts of an intervention

■ Clear indicators of pupils’ attainment and progress whencommunicating with parents, pupils and Education Scotland.

Bridging the gapWith The Scottish Attainment Challenge being a major part of thegovernments agenda to ensure that every child achieves their fullpotential, it is vital that schools work with pupils and parents toassess the attainment of a pupils literacy, numeracy, and health andwellbeing – the key foundations for learning.

Our standardised assessments form a cornerstone of any strategywhen it comes to bridging the attainment gap. They provide ameans through which teachers can identify barriers to learning andtarget interventions to improve educational attainment.

Our formative assessments provide national benchmarks forsocially deprived children and their peers providing a robust,independent measure of comparison.

Our diagnostic assessments ensure that schools can targetinterventions in the direction which will have the greatest positiveimpact on a pupil and measure subsequent improvements.

Discover how some schools are already using our standardisedtests as part of their assessment framework – visit www.gl-assessment.co.uk/casestudies

“Using the range of assessments we do means

that teachers start the year knowing each

student really well and that learning will be

tailored much more for each student’s needs.

They will have the opportunity to enjoy real,

proper, personalised intervention and support.”Lee Walker, Vice Principal, Hinchingbrooke School, Cambridgeshire


A whole-pupil approach toassessmentMeeting learners' needs, enabling them to achieve and maximisingtheir potential are key aims of the Curriculum for Excellence. To dothis, the professional judgement of teachers is of vital importancewhen it comes to understanding individual children. Thisjudgement can be complemented by assessing the ability,attainment and attitude of pupils at regular intervals in order tounderstand their strengths, their weaknesses and their potential.This idea underpins our ‘whole-pupil approach’ to assessment,designed to give teachers access to high quality, standardised dataabout their pupils that is not accessible through observation alone. By implementing this approach, schools are provided with anassessment model that:

■ Allows schools to establish a baseline and help with tracking andmonitoring

■ Compares ability levels against current attainment to identifyunder-achievers and factors influencing them

■ Measures a pupil’s potential, showing what they could achieve,alongside progress rate

■ Identifies barriers to learning and informs early interventionstrategies

■ Delivers a national benchmark against others in the UK.

A number of our assessments play a central role in this approach, allof which have been combined to create our Complete Digital

Solution – see pages 4 – 5 for full details.

The importance of dataThe value of "evidence-based approaches [to] reduce theattainment gap...based on timely, relevant data" is specificallyhighlighted in the 2014 Joseph Roundtree Foundation report intobridging the attainment gap in Scottish education.

Effective use of data allows schools to personalise teaching and todeliver better educational outcomes. We believe that quality data isessential if children are to fulfil their potential.

The data produced by our assessments provide schools withobjective and benchmarked information about their students. Itgives the teachers access to a wealth of information on their pupilsand helps to provide personalised learning. By combining this datawith teacher insight, we can inform teaching and learning, trackand provide evidence of progress to parents, and motivate learnersby identifying barriers to learning.

Data is also an essential component of any self-evaluation processand whole-school improvement. By assessing performance againstbenchmarked data, senior leaders can determine strengths andweaknesses and identify room for improvement, for inclusion inschool and departmental improvement plans.

Our assessments undergo a rigorous standardisation process,giving schools a solid benchmarked reference point for theirperformance. Tools such as our Kirkland Rowell Survey, which looksat the perceptions and attitudes of parents, staff and students,effectively a mini-HMI type triangulation of stakeholders, will alsoassist the vitally important self-evaluation process.

Scoring and data interpretationservicesTo support schools in continually using assessment data torespond quickly to the needs of every pupil and to bridge theattainment gap, we provide a range of services that ensure they canreceive, interpret and use their assessment data to its full potential.

Encompassing scoring, reporting, training and support, ourassessment services complement and extend our portfolio ofpublished tests. They include:

■ Scoring and Reporting Services: For schools that are still usingpaper assessments, we offer a Scoring and Reporting Service.Whileit cannot provide the immediate results made possible by onlinetesting, accurate scores and reports are delivered to schoolswithin just 15 working days of receipt of completed test bookletsand data file.

■ Online Marking Tool: For schools that prefer to mark their ownpapers, our Online Marking Tool (OMT) significantly reducesmarking time. It delivers instant scores and reports online as soonas marking is complete, and enables easy ordering of additionalreports or data files for schools’ MIS. Available for VerbalReasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, New Group Reading Test, ReadingNow and Sandwell Early Numeracy Test - Revised & KS2 - KS3.

■ Training and support: To help schools make the most of theirassessment data we offer a wide range of training and supportservices. See pages 40-41.

■ Events and conferences: We hold a number of conferences andattend a range of events across the UK. For full details and up-to-date listings, please visit our website: www.gl-assessment.co.uk.

GL Assessment has worked in partnership withschools for over 30 years to develop a range ofassessments that support better outcomes forpupils. We believe in a ‘whole-pupil approach’ toassessment, which alongside a teacher’sjudgement, can provide a powerful andobjective all-round view of an individual learner.

We have combined the power of our assessments to supportschools in implementing a ‘whole-pupil approach’. Our CompleteDigital Solutionprovides critical insight across the following threeareas:

Cognitive Abilities Test: Fourth Edition (CAT4)CAT4 identifies a pupil’s developed abilities and likelyacademic potential highlighting strengths, weaknesses andlearning preferences. This information helps teachers todeliver a truly personalised learning experience. See pages 8 – 11.

Progress Test SeriesThe new Progress Test Series can be used year-on-year tosupport teachers in identifying current levels of attainmentand tracking progress in the core subjects; English, maths andscience. See pages 14, 26 and 28.

New Group Reading Test (NGRT)NGRT allows teachers to specifically screen and monitor thereading ability of pupils at a group level. The Standard AgeScore and Reading Age in NGRT are crucial for trackingprogress year-on-year. See pages 16 – 17.

BaselineBaseline allows teachers to measure literacy, language andnumeracy on entry and optionally, at the end of Reception. Seepage 7.

AttainmentTo show where the learner is now and what you can do tosupport their highest possible achievement

Barriers to learningTo identify barriers that prevent a learner from achieving theirgreatest possible potential.

Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Screeners DigitalThese screening tools help to identify early signs of Dyslexiaand Dyscalculia and inform the planning of appropriatesupport programmes and intervention strategies. See page 30.

Single Word Spelling Test (SWST)SWST is a series of nine standardised tests designed to assessspelling attainment. Dependant on level, each test containsbetween 30 and 50 words. See page 23.

Pupil Attitudes to Self and School (PASS)PASS health and wellbeing survey helps schools to understandbarriers to learning and provides vital information thatempowers pastoral staff and teachers to raise attainment.With direct links to the SHANARRI indicators of wellbeing,PASS is an ideal tool for schools wishing to study in-depth theattitudes of their pupils. See pages 32 – 33.

Kirkland Rowell Surveys (KRS)KRS ensures school improvement measures are on the righttrack by providing an instant overview of a school’s strengthsand weaknesses by listening to pupils, parents and staff. See page 39.

The UK’s mostwidely used testof reasoningabilities

OverviewOur best-selling Cognitive Abilities Test: Fourth Edition (CAT4) provides the perfectbenchmarking tool for identifying pupils’ developed abilities and likely academicpotential. It highlights strengths, weaknesses and thinking preferences; providingthe opportunity for tracking and monitoring pupil ability, and personalise teachingand learning.

CAT4 is not about knowledge recall, and requires no preparation, offering all pupilsthe same opportunity to show their underlying ability, regardless of background.With the addition of CAT4 Young Learners (CAT4-YL), testing can now be carried outseamlessly right through primary and secondary school.

By measuring a pupil’s ability to reason with different types of material, CAT4allows schools to assess the way a pupil thinks and adapt teaching accordingly.Measurement of the distinct abilities of Verbal, Non-Verbal, Quantitative andSpatial Reasoning facilitate this.

What can I do with the results?■ Gifted and talented pupils, as well as underachievers can be identified and

supported

■ Facilitate evidence-based target setting and personalise teaching andinterventions for each pupil

■ Establish a baseline on transition to secondary school

■ Support pupils in better understanding themselves as learners, e.g. spatialthinkers, who may be likely to excel in STEM subjects can be better identified

■ Instant reports facilitate communication with parents, pupils and stakeholders,as well as giving evidence for inspections and self-evaluations.

We are gathering data to provide indicators of outcomes at National 5.

How does CAT4 fit in with our whole-pupil approach?Use our attainment tests, Progress Test in Maths (PTM), Progress Test in English (PTE),Progress Test in Science (PTS) or the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) alongside CAT4 tohelp identify any areas where pupils may not be performing to their full potential.

Where there are discrepancies between ability and attainment data, our PupilAttitudes to Self and School (PASS) survey can help pinpoint potential barriers tolearning which may be otherwise difficult to identify.

Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal ReasoningGL Assessment and the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER)

OverviewFully standardised, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning helps teachers andsupport for learning identify the potential in all children by assessing each pupil’sverbal and non-verbal thinking. For younger learners our Reasoning 5–7 Test Series isstill available.

Verbal Reasoning reveals how a pupil takes on board new information bymeasuring a pupil’s ability to engage with language. Non-Verbal Reasoning involvesno reading and so can provide insight into the abilities of pupils who think moreeasily in images than words. It also measures the potential of pupils with limitedreading skills including those with Dyslexia, poorly motivated pupils, and thosewho speak English as an Additional Language.

Results can enhance teachers’ knowledge of a pupil’s abilities to help informteaching strategies.

What can I do with the results?■ Set targets and create learning programmes

■ Help identify the potential for pupils with limited reading skills and EAL

■ Results can be used as part of a wider assessment programme

■ Help inform teaching strategies

■ Benchmark pupils against others in the UK.

OverviewThe Progress Test in English (PTE) has become the standardised English assessmentof choice in many schools. The new edition respects the legacy of its predecessor(the widely used and trusted Progress in English, PiE) while providing brand newcontent relevant to UK Curricula and links to aspects of the Curriculum forExcellence.

Using PTEyear-on-year provides a reliable assessment of pupils’ attainment incore English skills, such as phonics, spelling, grammar, punctuation andcomprehension. It helps teachers track the progress of individual pupils and cansupport in creating a valuable record of how particular cohorts have achieved andprogressed.

Progress in Writing

To measure each pupil's writing progress, a separate, photocopiable resource isalso available.

The Transition Test

Providing seamless assessment between ages 5-14, PTE includes a brand newtransition test (Level 11T). Designed specifically for use on entry to secondaryschool, it provides an accurate baseline from which progress can be monitored. Forpupils who have already been tested at the end of primary, it enables schools tore-assess with new content.

What can I do with the results?■ Benchmark attainment and measure progress in English

■ Identify pupils’ strengths and weaknesses, set targets and personalise learning

■ Inform and evaluate intervention strategies

■ Communicate with parents and provide evidence for inspections

■ Comparing scores from PTE and CAT4 can highlight discrepancies between abilityand attainment. Using PTEyear-on-year can support in identifying added value.

How does PTE fit in with ourwhole-pupil approach?

The Progress Test in English forms a key part of GL Assessment’s whole-pupil approach toassessment. Designed to give teachers access toquality, standardised data about their pupils that isnot accessible through observation alone, thewhole-pupil approach looks at ability, attainmentand barriers to learning to help deliver personalisedlearning to every pupil.

Year-on-year assessment of attainment in Englishwill allow teachers to build a clear, evolving pictureof a pupil’s performance and help to identify areasfor improvement. When used in tandem with anassessment of ability, such as the Cognitive AbilitiesTest: Fourth Edition, it also allows staff to identifyunderperforming pupils and plan interventions tohelp them.

OverviewOur best-selling New Group Reading Test (NGRT) is used with groups to assess andmonitor pupils’ reading and comprehension skills - and if necessary, phonemicawareness. This can help identify, for instance, competent readers with weakcomprehension skills. Its capacity to show current levels of reading attainment andongoing progression make it a valuable assessment in light of the removal of levels.

Adaptive testing online

Fully standardised, NGRT is available as a paper or online test. The online adaptiveversion automatically adjusts to match a pupil’s reading ability. As a result, pupilsare not exposed to a test at an inappropriate level. It also offers an age-appropriateway of checking the phonic understanding of pupils – including those insecondary school who struggle with reading.

NGRT can be used up to twice yearly to monitor progress and can also help toidentify any pupils who may be in need of further screening and support. It is oftenused on transition to secondary school to identify current levels of attainment andre-administered in March/April to identify pupils not making expected progress. Asa result NGRT enables you to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention strategiesand teaching methods with ease.

What can I do with the results?■ The Standard Age Score and Reading Age can be used for tracking pupils’

progress year-on-year

■ Those with additional educational needs can be identified for further screeningand support

■ With a detailed overview of strengths and weaknesses in reading andcomprehension, target setting and intervention strategies can be personalisedand monitored

■ The sentence completion and passage comprehension scores can help toidentify differences between a pupil’s decoding and comprehension skills

■ Instant, easy-to-follow reports provide evidence of progress to EducationScotland and parents.

How does NGRT fit in with our whole-pupil approach?Use NGRT alongside CAT4 to help identify where pupils may not be performing totheir full potential in reading and comprehension.

NGRT also helps identify pupils who may require further reading screening andsupport. A natural next step for this is our York Assessment of Reading forComprehension (YARC) (page 18–19)which will help determine the level ofintervention required. If diagnosis is required, our Dyslexia Screener Digital can helpidentify pupils showing signs of Dyslexia. Find out more on page 30.

York Assessment of Reading for Comprehension:Primary and SecondaryUniversity of York, Centre for Reading and Language

Quick GuideAge Range: Primary: 4-11 years

Secondary: 11-16 years

Suitable for: Teachers, Support forLearning, Learning SupportTeachers and EducationalPsychologists

Test duration: 20-30 minutes

Test format: Paper

Ideal for use with:New Group Reading Test – pages 16-17Dyslexia Portfolio – page 31

OverviewThe York Assessment of Reading for Comprehension (YARC) enables teachers andpractitioners to assess their pupils’ reading and comprehension skills from an earlyage through to the end of secondary. The diagnostic test is split into primary andsecondary editions, with a separate ‘Early Reading’ suite for 4 to 7 year olds.

Developed by a top team of reading experts from the Centre for Reading andLanguage at the University of York, YARC is ideal for following up at an individuallevel after group testing. The tests take about 20 minutes on average, and from thisa remarkable amount of valuable information can be gathered, covering a widerange of reading skills.

An ideal tool in any assessment regime, YARC can be used to assess and monitorpupil progress. By providing an in-depth analysis of a pupil’s reading ability, theassessment can identify specific problems and inform appropriate interventions. The test is used by many schools for educational planning and benchmarkingpupils against others in the UK.

What can I do with the results?■ Obtain an in-depth, diagnostic assessment of a pupil’s reading and

comprehension skills


■ Assess English as an Additional Language (EAL) pupils and those requiring extratime in examinations

■ Inform educational planning and benchmarking against the national average.

The tests in more detailEarly ReadingThe early reading suite comprises four short tests specifically designed for 4-7 year olds or older pupils with reading difficulties. These tests assess a pupil’sphonological skills, alphabetic knowledge and word reading in a time-efficient andflexible way. They are among the most sensitive type of assessments for beginnerreaders and may be administered up to three times during a school year.

Passage Reading PrimaryComprising fiction and non-fiction texts, the passage reading primary suite hasbeen developed to identify the reading (decoding) and comprehension skills of 5-11 year olds. It assesses accuracy, reading rate and comprehension in one singletest. A version of our Single Word Reading Test is also included as a benchmarkingtest.

Passage Reading SecondaryThe passage reading secondary suite comprises a series of fiction and non-fictionpassages for 11-16 year olds. Designed to be read silently, the test assesses readingaccuracy, fluency and comprehension. A version of our Single Word Reading Test isalso included as a benchmarking test.

"I can't stress strongly enough how

valuable the YARC data is, particularly

in relation to the reading fluency rate,

which is usually difficult to evidence.

The YARC data has also indicated a

By enabling teachersand practitioners to input pupil details and rawscores, the tool generates an instant profile report.The single page report in PDF format providesStandard Age Scores (SAS) and percentile ranks foreach part of YARC, providing a diagnostic insight intoa pupil’s reading ability. This can be accessedthrough the GL Assessment website,www.gl-assessment.co.uk.

TheYARC Primary pupil profile report provides a summary of a pupil’saccuracy, reading rate and comprehension. The Standard Age Scorespresented provide a national benchmark. In this example Joanna’s readingrate and comprehension are average for her age group; however the accuracyof her reading is below average.

The YARC Secondary pupil profile report provides asummary of a pupil’s word reading, rate, comprehensionand accuracy. In this example Medley is showing signs ofpossible Dyslexia and may benefit from further testing withour Dyslexia Portfolio – page 31.

OverviewEstablishing and developing a wide vocabulary from a young age is essential to apupil’s academic success. In this, our leading British Picture Vocabulary Scale: ThirdEdition (BPVS3) provides the perfect solution. By assessing a pupil’s receptive(hearing) vocabulary from the earliest age, BPVS3 helps identify developmentaldelays before a child even reaches full time education.

As no reading is required, BPVS3 can be used to assess the language developmentin non-readers and pupils with specific learning difficulties, such as autism orcerebral palsy. Pupil’s responses can be given by simply pointing or by gesture. The test is simple and appealing with full colour illustrations and a larger format.

The robust and time efficient assessment provides an ideal benchmarking andprogress tracking tool from pre-school through to secondary school. Many schoolsare already using BPVS3 alongside our popular New Group Reading Test (see pages16-17) and York Assessment of Reading for Comprehension (see pages 18-19) toprovide a comprehensive profile of a pupil’s reading ability.

What can I do with the results?■ Identify delays in pupils’ vocabulary development from as young as 3 years

■ Use as an ideal benchmarking and progress tracking tool from pre-school through to secondary school

■ Inform intervention strategies at the earliest opportunity

■ Assesses the language development of non-readers including those with English as an Additional Language.

OverviewBy assessing a pupil’s mathematical skills and knowledge of concepts, our ProgressTest in Maths (PTM)has become the standardised maths assessment of choice in arange of schools. The new edition respects the legacy of its predecessor (Progress inMaths, PiM)while providing brand new content relevant to UK Curricula, links toaspects of the Curriculum for Excellence and a new and comprehensivestandardisation.

PTMprovides the perfect tool to help schools raise standards in mathematics. Byassessing pupils’ mathematical skills and knowledge, in areas such as number,shape, data handling and algebra, the assessment provides valuable diagnosticinformation about their strengths and weaknesses. PTM can be used at the startand end of the academic year and is ideal for monitoring progress over time.

The Transition Test

PTM includes a new transition test (Level 11T). Designed specifically for use on entryto secondary school, it provides an accurate baseline from which progress can bemonitored. For pupils who have already been tested at the end of primary, itenables schools to re-assess with new content.

What can I do with the results?■ Benchmark knowledge and measure progress in maths



■ Communicate with parents and provide evidence for inspections.

How does PTM fit in with our whole-pupil approach?The Progress Test in Maths forms a key part of GL Assessment’s whole-pupilapproach to assessment. Designed to give teachers access to quality, standardiseddata about their pupils that is not accessible through observation alone, thewhole-pupil approach looks at ability, attainment and barriers to learning to helpdeliver personalised learning to every pupil.

Year-on-year PTMwill allow teachers to build a clear, evolving picture of a pupil’sperformance and help to identify areas for improvement. When used in tandemwith an assessment of ability, such as CAT4, it also allows staff to identifyunderperforming pupils and plan interventions to help them.

PTM

Implications for teaching and learning• Cameronʼs scores for both mental maths and applying & understanding maths are in the average range.

• By comparing scores from a previous administration of PTM it is possible to categorise progress as eitherbelow average (the student has not made as much progress as would be expected), average (the studenthas maintained the level of performance as shown in the last test) or above average (the student has mademore progress than would be expected).

– Cameron took PTM8 in May 2013 and from then until now has made above average progress in hismaths.

• The analysis of curriculum content categories and the analysis of mental maths and applying andunderstanding maths categories will help to identify where there are specific strengths and weaknesses andto plan the next steps.

In addition to the all-important Standard Age Score for benchmarking and tracking progress,the Group report for teachers shows separate scores for Maths skills and progress rate.

Note that only those students who have completed two valid administrations of PTM are able to have performance compared and therefore progress reported in this section.

When tested twice, the Group report for teachers also includes a useful progress profiles reportthat enables teachers to see immediately where progress has been made.


The Individual student report for teachers provides a detailedanalysis of a pupil’s strengths and weaknesses, alongside implicationsfor teaching and learning. It also helps teachers interpret results easilyand feed them back into the classroom.

Progress Test in Science GL Assessment


Digital: 7-14

Suitable for: Teachers, Science Co-ordinators and Supportfor Learning



Ideal for use with:Progress Test in English– pages 14-15Progress Test in Maths – pages 26-27

OverviewThe Progress Test in Science (PTS) completes the Progress Test Series. With contentrelevant to UK Curricula, Progress Test in Science provides a national benchmark forprogress tracking year-on-year.

PTS provides a reliable assessment of pupils’ attainment in core science skills. Ithelps teachers track the progress of individual pupils and the data can be used bysenior leaders to compile an essential database of science attainment. Over timethis will create a valuable record of how particular cohorts have achieved andprogressed.

All questions in PTS are multiple choice. It assesses pupils’ knowledge of scienceand working scientifically.

The Transition Test

PTS also includes a transition test (Level 11T). Designed specifically for use at thebeginning of secondary school, it provides an accurate baseline from whichprogress can be monitored. For pupils who have already been tested at the end ofprimary, it enables schools to re-assess on entry to secondary with new content.

Note – there is no level 12 test available as schools tailor the teaching of the sciencecurriculum over S1-S3.

What can I do with the results?■ Benchmark knowledge and measure progress in science



■ Communicate with parents and provide evidence for inspections.

How does PTS fit in with our whole-pupil approach?The Progress Test in Science forms a key part of GL Assessment’s whole-pupilapproach to assessment. Designed to give teachers access to quality, standardiseddata about their pupils that are not accessible through observation alone, thewhole-pupil approach looks at ability, attainment and barriers to learning to helpdeliver personalised learning to every pupil.

Year-on-year assessment of attainment in science will allow teachers to build aclear, evolving picture of a pupil’s performance and help identify areas forimprovement. When used in tandem with an assessment of ability, such as theCognitive Abilities Test: Fourth Edition, it can help identify underperforming pupilsand plan interventions to help them.

OverviewClosing the attainment gap, identifying barriers to learning, tackling challengingbehaviour and improving attendance are some of the most important issues inschools today. Our Pupil Attitudes to Self and School (PASS) survey provides schoolswith a cost-effective and manageable way of addressing all three – and more. Thisis because it not only helps you understand how pupils’ attitudes are affectingtheir learning, it also enables you to measure the impact of interventions onattitudes.

In just 20 minutes, PASSprovides an insight into pupils’ mindsets that wouldotherwise be difficult to glean. In doing so, it helps schools to discover the oftenhidden reasons behind low attainment, challenging behaviour and lowattendance. In many cases, issues are identified well before they manifestthemselves, giving teachers a chance to ‘nip problems in the bud’. Findings fromPASS also help schools to identify and support emotionally vulnerable youngpeople and those with possible mental health issues.

Fully standardised, PASS looks at nine attitudinal factors, including feelings aboutschool, self-regard and attitudes to attendance and has direct links with theSHANARRI indicators of wellbeing. An Online Intervention System is also availablewith over 2000 possible intervention strategies. PASS strongly supports the fourcapacities of the Curriculum for Excellence and is a very effective screening tool,informing the health and wellbeing agenda.

What can I do with the results?■ Identify and understand any attitudinal barriers to learning that may beaffecting attainment

■ Inform teaching and learning strategies and intervention programmes■ Help improve behaviour, attendance and overall achievement■ Clearly see where any intervention may be required■ Provide important information for pastoral support and working with parents.

“I very quickly grasped the value of PASS as an excellent,

whole-school, Health and Wellbeing screener. Allowing

pupils the opportunity to identify their barriers to learning

and share with support staff gives them an element of

ownership. Pupil involvement in strategies and intervention

plans utilised to overcome those barriers can only increase

the chances of improved outcomes. Being able to resurvey

later in the year gives schools the opportunity to evidence

the outcomes of their intervention strategies. PASS also has

the advantages of adding to the Pupil Voice and informing

SLT and Pupil Support department’s in their Self-Evaluation

and Improvement Planning.”Scott Campbell – GL Assessment Consultant in Scotland and former PT Guidance

“We at SLS believe that Kirkland

Rowell Surveys offer by far the most

cost-effective method of generating

meaningful, independent data on all

your school's activities as well as pre-

empting the findings of inspection

and satisfying the demands of self-

evaluation. These surveys place the

minimum of demands on a school’s

time and resources and, in these

difficult financial times, represent

good value for money.”

Ken Cunningham CBE, General Secretary, SLS

The Parent survey report identifies the percentage of parents who are happy alongsidethose who are unhappy with the performance of the school against non-academic criteria.

Overview

To help schools make the most out of their testdata we offer a wide range of Analysis andInterpretation Services.

We have extended our range of services to cover the following keyassessments:

■ Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT)

■ Progress Test in Maths (PTM)

■ Progress Test in English (PTE)

■ Pupil Attitudes to Self and School (PASS).

As part of all training, we also look at how schools can build a trulyholistic view of each child by analysing together measurements ofability, attainment and attitudes. This approach informs teachingand learning, identifies barriers to learning, and enables teachers tosee immediately when potential is not being reached.

What type of support to choose?To enable customers to choose the type of support that best suitstheir own specific requirements, three different types of training areavailable:

1. Online Webinars

2. Workshops

3. Consultancy Service.

Data Analysis and Interpretation WorkshopsDesigned for up to 20 participants and held within your ownschool, our workshops are suitable for school clusters. They areavailable in the following combinations:

1. For any one of the following assessments:

■ Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT)

■ Progress Test in Maths (PTM)

■ Progress Test in English (PTE)

■ Pupil Attitudes to Self and School (PASS).

2. When considering data from more than one of the aboveassessments

3. As a focused workshop supporting the Curriculum for Excellence

Workshops are designed for participants who are already familiarwith at least one of our key assessments, but are looking for adeeper insight into the analysis and interpretation of the data thatis provided in order to meet the requirements of the CfE. The CATIntroductory Workshop is suitable for users and non-users of ourassessments.

Schools can opt for a full-day or a half-day session lasting 2–3hours, depending on timing requirements. As such, they are idealfor use at an INSET day or as a twilight session.

Delivery is by an experienced, professional facilitator at a school’sown premises. To allow interaction, the maximum group size for aworkshop is 20; however, presentation style sessions can beorganised for larger groups or for sessions that need to be shorterthan 2 hours.

Workshops are based on sample data, whilst giving participantsthe opportunity to apply the learning to their own data, if available.Alternatively, school data can be used throughout.

“The quality and depth of the information

provided by GL Assessment’s Analysis and

Interpretation Services are second to none. Data

analysis and services such as these will play an

increasingly essential role in helping schools to

tackle issues such as poor behaviour and

underachievement as the education landscape

continues to change and evolve.”Andrew Goulding, Principal, Hinchingbrooke School,

Cambridgeshire

ConsultancyOur Consultancy Service is the ideal choice for schools looking for an

even deeper and more strategic level of analysis than is possible

through the workshops. In addition to our consultancy, the service

is available for any one of the following assessments in supporting

the Curriculum for Excellence, or when considering data from more

than one of our key assessments.

The service involves partnership with a skilled facilitator who,together with the School Leadership Team (SLT), examines aschool’s assessment data and reports, focusing on the strategic

implications for school improvement and helping to prioritise next

steps. In the case of the supporting the Curriculum for Excellence

Consultancy Service, your facilitator will seek to identify yourindividual needs and requirements in adopting a new assessment

regime.

Schools will receive an email or phone call prior to a school visit to

check preliminary thinking and agree priorities. Once a date hasbeen agreed, a follow-up on-site meeting of up to three hours will

take place, after which a summary report will be delivered to the SLT.

Admissions tests schools can trust

When it comes to admissions testing, pupils andparents need to know that the test is fit forpurpose, fair and that it is "a true test of aptitudeand ability.”1

With over 30 years' unrivalled experience in admissions testing forsecondary and senior schools, GL Assessment is fully committed tomaintaining these high standards. As a result, our admissions testsare relied upon by the numerous independent schools to ensure afair admissions process.

Why choose GL Assessment?Over the last three decades, GL Assessment has built a highlyrespected reputation for high-quality, robust admissions tests. Wealso developed the new online Common Pre-Tests in conjunctionwith the Independent Schools Examination Board (ISEB).

Our good standing in the area of admissions testing is based on anumber of factors. Firstly, we offer a highly personalised servicewith expert consultancy and advice. Our customers know the endresult will be a test that satisfies fully their selection criteria and thatbest practice will be applied throughout.

Secondly, our tests and questions support the goal of socialmobility. Every single question included in our tests has beenthoroughly trialled and validated to ensure it is not biased againstgender, ethnicity or educational background. Each question alsobelongs to an acknowledged question type known to identify coreability, even for candidates with alternative educationalbackgrounds. All verbal reasoning questions keep readingattainment and vocabulary demands to a minimum, while non-verbal reasoning questions enable candidates with under-developed English to demonstrate their reasoning skills.

Thirdly, to combat the effects of coaching, we have a high numberof question types and invest in a rolling programme of itemdevelopment to add new ones. We also design our tests in such away that it is extremely difficult to predict accurately whichquestion types will arise in any one particular test.

And while we make every effort to keep tests as short as possibleto meet the logistical challenges faced by schools, we will includeenough questions to ensure it is an accurate and reliablemeasurement of ability.

1 Schools Admissions Code, Department for Education

Flexible services for easy test administrationGL Assessment makes the testing and scoring process far easier forschools by offering a wide range of additional options:

■ An Overprinting Service that pre-prints candidate names andother details onto the answer sheets to shorten testadministration times and avoid mix-ups or delays in scoring.

■ A Scoring Service for higher levels of accuracy and a quickturnaround.

■ Statistical Services that provide bespoke national or localstandardisations of test data. We also offer a range of services toaccurately and quickly analyse and band test results againstschool-specific admission criteria.

■ Familiarisation materials to ensure all pupils are familiar with thetest format ahead of the examination and are not unduly anxiouson the test day.
