Tracking Progress, Driving Success
At Horizon English School, we combine internal teacher assessments and GL Progress Test assessments to provide a comprehensive understanding of student progress and achievement.
Our internal assessments align with the National Curriculum of England, offering real-time insights into each student’s strengths and areas for growth, allowing teachers to personalise learning effectively.
The GL Progress Test assessments complement this by benchmarking our students’ performance against international standards. These standardised evaluations provide valuable data, ensuring we maintain the highest academic standards while continuously refining our teaching practices.
