Yarrells — Dorset's Only GL Assessment Advocate Partner

We are proud to be an Advocate Partner of GL Assessment, the UK's leading provider of formative assessments to schools, and the only school in Dorset to hold this status.

For over 30 years, GL Assessment has supported children's education, mental health and wellbeing across the UK and in over 100 countries worldwide. Their digital assessment platform is trusted by schools and ministries of education globally, and at Yarrells, we have been using it for the past four academic years.

GL's pioneering approach to adaptive testing and tablet-based assessments gives our teachers rich, real-time data, allowing us to truly understand each pupil's ability, attitudes, progress and attainment, and to tailor our teaching accordingly. This is assessment not as a test to pass, but as a tool to help every child grow.

GL share our own belief in a whole-pupil approach, and our Advocate Partner status means we are actively involved in cutting-edge trials and have early access to the most contemporary developments in assessment, including 11+ grammar school tests and ISEB pre-tests used by senior schools in our local area.

It is one more way in which Yarrells ensures our pupils receive a high-quality, data-informed education that prepares them brilliantly for the next stage of their journey.
