Assessment Trialling

Help keep our assessments robust and innovative.   

At GL Assessment, we’re committed to keeping our assessments robust, relevant, and innovative. Through our ongoing programme of trialling and standardisation studies, we ensure that every question we use is thoroughly tested and up to date. 

By trialling questions with real students, we can select the most effective items and develop new question types that keep our assessments fair and accessible for all learners. 

We’re always looking for schools to get involved—whether as a one-time participant or a regular contributor. In return, we offer: 

  • Financial incentives  

  • Access to pupil results 

  • Previews of assessments currently in development 

We are currently recruiting for: 

  • YARC – Primary and Secondary 

* Includes equivalent year groups in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
