Assessment

Our high-quality, standardised assessments, written by our subject experts, provide cohort-benchmarked summative reporting and detailed formative analysis, at the mid-point and the end of the year.

This year we will be making our assessments and use of the Smartgrade analysis tool available to schools, free of charge

United Curriculum assessments are valid and reliable, fully curriculum-aligned, and designed by our experts in accordance with industry best practices.

Available either with the United Curriculum or standalone, our high-quality assessments allow you to understand your students’ strengths, gaps and performance, with new, unseen papers twice a year.

Our assessments are sat by tens of thousands of students in schools across England. Delivered through our partner Smartgrade, they enable you to benchmark your students against a national cohort with standardised grades and cohort rank ordering.

In addition to standardised summative reporting, our assessments are carefully designed to give you actionable, impactful information that can shape your teaching and learning.

What is covered in our assessments?

Our assessments are fully aligned with the United Curriculum but can also be used standalone. 

Our Specification Documents set out all the knowledge and skills in the curriculum, so you can see exactly what is covered by our assessments.

United Curriculum assessments will assess a sample of the content in the Specification Document for each subject. What is assessed may vary from year to year, just like in an exam.

We specifically set out what parts of the specification are covered in our mid-year assessments, so you can see if your curriculum is sufficiently aligned at the mid-year point to make the assessments meaningful.
