It’s been a genuine partnership. What’s worked particularly well is that The Assessment Network’s bespoke solutions are not offered as a fixed package or one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we’ve built a consultancy relationship that flexes around our needs. That flexibility has been incredibly valuable, especially given how quickly things change in our sector.

As a school, we are looking to do more work with The Assessment Network in the future. I think the training delivered by James was exceptional and the feedback has been outstanding across the board. Improving our assessment practice has become the foci for our entire staff this year, and an ongoing collaboration with Cambridge will be important to achieve this goal.
