MidYIS Test:  Chapter 7:  September
MidYIS is a computer-adaptive assessment for pupils aged 11 to 14, that provides information to help us identify pupils' strengths and weaknesses, and predict how our pupils are likely to perform at GCSE.  

MidYIS assesses four key areas which research shows are linked to later academic outcomes:

  • Vocabulary – word fluency and understanding
  • Mathematics – logical thinking, manipulating numbers and numerical concepts
  • Non-verbal ability – recognising shapes, matching patterns, applying spatial awareness and visual intuition
  • Skills - such as proofreading, perceptual speed and accuracy

As the assessment is adaptive, each pupil sees a unique assessment and is challenged at a level that is suitable for them, making it enjoyable, engaging, and efficient.

YELLIS Test: Chapter 10:  September

Yellis is an adaptive baseline assessment for pupils aged 14-16, that helps us understand what our pupils know and can highlight where they need support as they prepare for their GCSEs.  Yellis also provides value-added information to help us see the effect our teaching is having, and shows the progress our students are making at school.

Yellis assesses three key areas of learning:

  • Vocabulary – word fluency and understanding
  • Mathematics – logical thinking, manipulating numbers and numerical concepts
  • Non-verbal ability – ability to match patterns, reflections and rotations and apply visual intuition

Each student completes the assessment independently, working at a computer.

ALIS Test: Chapter 12: September

Alis is an adaptive baseline assessment for students aged 16 to 18, that provides information to help identify students’ strengths and weaknesses and see how they are likely to perform at A Level.

 University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT)

The University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) is an admissions test used by a consortium of UK Universities for their medical and dental degree programmes.

The UCAT helps universities to select applicants with the most appropriate mental abilities, attitudes and professional behaviours required for new doctors and dentists to be successful in their clinical careers.  It is used in collaboration with other admissions processes such as the UCAS application and academic qualifications.

It is also your opportunity to stand out from other applicants and demonstrate your aptitude for a demanding programme of study.

The UCAT is a computer-based test delivered in Pearson VUE test centres throughout the UK and worldwide.  More detailed information can be found on the About UCAT page.

SUMMER PUBLIC EXAMINATIONS 2024

Joint Contingency Examination Day for all Awarding Bodies:  All candidates to remain available on the afternoons of 6 & 13 June and the day of 26 June 2024

The awarding bodies have designated  as ‘contingency days’ for examinations. This is consistent with the qualification regulators’ document Exam system contingency plan: England, Wales and Northern Ireland  gov.uk

The designation of a ‘contingency day’ within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or significant local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom. It is part of the awarding bodies’ standard contingency planning for examinations. Centres must therefore remind candidates that they must remain available should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.
