Student Progress Reporting

Reporting student progress to parents is an important part of the educational process. Providing information
about the strengths and challenges of learners helps our teachers and parents focus on ways to support
learning at school and at home.

GL Assessment is the leading provider of formative assessments to UK and British Schools Overseas.

GL assessments are developed in collaboration with a global community of experts from leading
universities and research teams, and have been used by education for over 35 years. We believe in a
‘whole pupil’ approach to assessment that allows students to track their own progress and identify
any barriers and learning difficulties they might have.

Progress Test Maths (PTM)

The Progress Test in Maths (PTM) is a standardised assessment of
pupils’ mathematical skills and knowledge. PTM assesses two dimensions of maths
learning:

1. Mathematical content knowledge (Curriculum Content
Category)
2. Understanding and applying mathematical processes
through reasoning and problem solving (Process Category)

Progress Test English (PTE)

Progress Test in English is a standardised assessment of pupils’ technical English skills (spelling, grammar and punctuation) and reading comprehension. This is designed for use year on year to support teachers in benchmarking student’s English knowledge and measure their progress over time. This can help in identifying those in need of extra help, as well as those who are particularly able.

Progress Test Science (PTS)

PTS enables you to monitor science achievement benchmarked against peers nationally, as well as measuring the key National Curriculum requirement of ‘working scientifically’.

CAT4

The CAT4 is an assessment of reasoning ability can identify where a pupil’s real strengths lie, free
from the constraint of the curriculum and unencumbered by learning barriers.

The Cognitive Abilities Test: Fourth Edition (CAT4) provides a robust, standardised
measure of cognitive reasoning ability, without reference to curriculum-based material and
regardless of previous achievements or first language.

With CAT4, you get invaluable insight into your pupils’ ability to reason across four
distinct batteries: verbal, non-verbal, mathematical and spatial, as compared to the national
average.
