Support teachers

Essential resource for all classroom teachers. Provides a comprehensive bank of questions ideal for preparing students for end of Key Stage tests but also excellent to use when planning to get ideas for model questions. Also extremely reasonably priced for how often it is used by our staff.

Completely essential assessment tool

completely essential assessment tool from Year 2 to Year 6. No school should be without testbase with a huge range of questions many which cover greater depth. Saves times and energy. Easy to use and create own resources or use ready-made.

Samina Zarryn, Director of KS2

Flexibility

The flexibility of the search function is worth the price alone. Being able to easily find assessment questions which target specific areas is very, very useful.

Diagnostic assessment

I use Testbase for tests, for diagnostic assessment, for end of unit assessments, for homeworks, for differentiation, to give pupils a chance to apply what they have learned, as lesson starters and plenaries. It is a most useful tool.

Nick Wood, Assistant Head
St Egwin’s CE Middle School

Benchmarking

The Testbase Optional Tests have been invaluable in not only providing a useful benchmark of my pupils against the new curriculum but also an opportunity for my staff to further develop an understanding of the new assessment process in a school system without levels.
