Assessment Information

Prior to joining our groups, we offer the opportunity for children to undergo an assessment. We also welcome candidates even if they are not interested in our group tuition.

Leveraging Helen’s extensive experience assessing students, we can provide valuable feedback on your child’s standing relative to the broader competition.

By comparing your child to a diverse pool of students, both historically and currently, and considering the school landscape, we can offer an indication of potential school options. Our student body includes pupils from various schools, enabling us to provide practical advice on school choices.

If you would like to book an assessment, please schedule an appointment with us. We may admit children to our group classes without an assessment if that would be inconvenient and we have had a discussion with you.

Why might I benefit from an assessment?

The assessments involve standardised tests that factor in the child’s age and benchmark their performance against a national average. With years of experience conducting these assessments, we can offer insights into suitable schools for your child. We also conduct assessments for children not intending to join the groups; feel free to book below. Please note that these tests incur a separate fee of £200.

My child is doing well at school but is only average?

We welcome children of different abilities but if your child needs special support with any particular aspect of their work then group lessons might not be the most appropriate way of helping them. If they require some expert support following an assessment we can advise you of the various other options available.

Assessment Tests

We offer assessment tests for children aged 6 to 11. These consist of standardised maths and english tests.

Notes

Please arrive punctually. Please prepare your child so they are not surprised and upset to have to do some tests (especially younger students)

Parents are not allowed to help or watch the assessment so please drop off your child and leave once we have taken your details.

Maths score:
These tests are standardised maths tests and are adjusted according to your child’s age. The national average is 100.

Guide (general observations):
Below 100- generally not suitable for private school mathematics exams.
100-110 – adequately numerate
110-120 – good numeracy skills
120+- advanced numeracy skills for age
