YesAssess - positive assessment of learning skills

What is a YesAssessment?

Our assessments do not brand students as failures or successes; rather they place them on a journey of success. Motivation, progression and improvement are our watchwords.

Our assessments measure improvements in 'soft' skills, dispositions, attitudes, attributes and character.

More about what we do

Why you need to assess

The Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills framework is the tool the government has given schools to develop independent, creative learners. QCA, Ofsted and other agencies are promoting the need for skills, competencies and dispositions to be taught and assessed explicitly in schools. Done badly, or without careful thought the results can be disastrous.

Too often teachers ignore opportunities to emphasise the value of work-related skills such as communication, problem-solving, team-building and creativity.
Christine Gilbert, HM Chief Inspector

We need to develop students’ personal, learning and thinking skills ... and give them opportunities for spiritual, moral, social, cultural, emotional, intellectual and physical development.
