Outstanding Schools

Next in our Webinar Series!

Exams have long been treated as the clearest measure of learning, but what happens when they’re removed, delayed, or no longer fit for purpose?

Join us on 3rd June for a practical conversation on how schools are protecting standards, progression, and pupil confidence without relying solely on formal assessment.

We’ll explore:
• portfolios, performance tasks, and classroom evidence
• moderation and professional judgement
• communicating progress to parents and universities
• what meaningful assessment can look like beyond exams

📅 Wednesday 3rd June
🕚 11am BST | 2pm GST | 6pm CST

For school leaders, assessment leads, and anyone rethinking what good assessment should achieve.

What happens when exams disappear?

How do schools protect standards, maintain progression, and build pupil confidence without the familiar structure of high-stakes assessment?

Join us for our upcoming webinar:

No Exams, No Problem? How schools are protecting outcomes without formal assessment

📅 Wednesday 3rd June

• Building trust in teacher assessment
• Communicating progress to parents, students, and universities

What does winning a Global Outstanding Schools Award represent?

Winning can strengthen institutional pride, elevate your network and provide a platform to share effective practice with the wider global education community.
