How should I use the baseline assessment?

  • The baseline assessment should be sat as early as possible by students in Year 7.
  • It takes 40 minutes to complete.
  • We recommend using the QLA provided to enter student marks.
Top tipUsing the QLA will let you spot gaps in student knowledge at a cohort, class, and individual level - meaning you can make the most informed decisions on how to address student gaps as you start the KS3 curriculum.
