Take our Academic Assessment in conjunction with Cambridge University to help plan your school journey
At Mentor Education, we hear time and time again from parents that schools are not giving them the information they need to help identify their child’s potential and signpost their next steps in respect of their education. Mentor Education Academic Assessments can help parents:
Parents want their children to go to secondary schools where they will be happy and fulfil their potential but often, they have no information on which to base these choices. We hear this from families in the state sector and the private sector alike. Our Academic Assessments help parents plan their school entrance campaigns such as 7+, 11+ and 13+.
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.
Mentor Education is one of a few education consultancies licenced to offer assessments by CEM, created in partnership with Cambridge University’s Education Research Department. CEM assessments are used by over 70% of Independent Schools in the UK (and many International Schools) as the exam board for their admissions tests. Also sometimes known as INCAS tests, many schools use them to track their pupils’ progress annually. The CEM test allows scoring against peers in the UK, as well as international students on the British curriculum.
Reasons we particularly like the CEM test include:
For British children the Mentor Education Assessment generates a diagnostic profile of a child’s reading, spelling, Maths and mental arithmetic, Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning, facilitating full literacy and numeracy acquisition. Combined with Mentor Education’s 40+ years of experience and up to date information on independent school admissions, we can signpost future schools and provide an action plan for school entrance campaigns such as 7+, 11+ and 13+.
For International children planning to enrol into British schools, Mentor Education Assessments help compare their academic performance against their peers in the British Education system. This helps navigate parents to the correct British schools to target. With CEM being used in many admissions tests in top British independent schools, there is an added benefit of forecasting the chances of successful results in admissions tests.

They will share your ambition and have a teaching tool kit to motivate and encourage young learners, building essential skills, including stretch numeracy and literacy. Here are some recent case studies about families on our 7 Plus programme.
We are so proud of our 5 star reviews and 7 Plus testimonials which are a testament to the relationships our teachers build with their young pupils and the success they create together.
