When an Educational Assessment May Be Considered
An educational assessment may be considered when a child experiences persistent difficulties accessing learning, participating in school or making expected academic progress. Parents, caregivers or teachers may notice:
Individual signs do not confirm a learning or developmental condition. The assessment considers the child's wider educational experience and individual needs.
What the Assessment Explores
The child's participation and progress across relevant areas of learning.
How the child processes and engages with information.
How the child manages attention, tasks and everyday organisation.
How the child communicates and engages within the classroom.
How the classroom and school environment support the child's learning.
The Assessment Process
The relevant professional meets with the family to discuss current concerns, educational history and support already provided.
With appropriate consent, school reports, examples of work, teacher feedback and previous assessment findings may be reviewed.
The child takes part in age-appropriate activities selected according to the areas being explored.
The findings are considered alongside the child's development, emotional wellbeing, communication and educational environment.
The results are explained to the family alongside practical educational recommendations and appropriate next steps.
The process may vary according to the child's age, communication needs and individual presentation.

Following the Assessment

Our Philosophy
The team will explain exactly what information is required and how to prepare the child before the assessment begins.
Families may be asked to provide any relevant developmental, medical or clinical information before the appointment.
Please provide recent school reports and specific examples of the child's work.
It is helpful to share detailed information about any previous learning support your child has received.
There is nothing to rehearse. We will guide you on how to prepare so your child feels entirely comfortable on the day.
