The right assessments and data are vital to help trusts deliver improvement at multiple levels and in multiple settings, deliver consistent and effective teaching in every classroom, and ensure all students are making progress.
We help trusts to meet these challenges with a range of assessments that are built on the best academic research and extensive trialling, use a powerful digital assessment system, and generate instant reports that enable them to make quick and effective use of the data in a common language. We also have a dedicated trust team to support you at each step of the way.
Our data helps trusts highlight strengths and gaps in reading and core subjects; identify and support students with additional learning needs; deliver evidence of whole school improvement; and provide evidence of progress, both at school and trust-level.
Our mission is to help every child realise their full potential by providing schools and trusts with a ‘whole pupil view’ of a child. We provide a range of assessments that help schools identify a student’s strengths, pinpoint areas of need and put targeted measures in place to help them reach their full potential.
Our most popular assessments cover the following key areas:

Our GL Data Dashboard helps you join up all your assessment results, so that they’re simple to access and easier to understand. The dashboard helps you compare datasets, enabling you to quickly identify trends or correlations, and understand what the results mean for a student, a cohort, a whole school and across your trust.
We have a dedicated team of Education Advisers of data experts, education professionals and former teachers who support trusts in ensuring your testing experience runs smoothly and making sure your make the most of your data. Find out more about them here.
