Assessment at Brainiacs
A tool for growth, not just grades
At Brainiacs, assessment is woven into everyday learning. We see it not only as a way to gauge progress, but also as a powerful tool to guide teaching and support each child's development.
Diagnostic Assessment
Early identification and support
Early checks and activities help us identify gaps, strengths or challenges so we can offer timely support or adjust our approach.
Formative Assessment
Ongoing feedback and improvement
Ongoing feedback during lessons helps learners understand their progress and gives facilitators insight to fine-tune teaching for maximum impact.
Summative Assessment
Achievement recognition
End-of-unit or end-of-course evaluations capture what has been learned, recognising achievement and providing readiness for the next stage.
Our Assessment Principles

Every assessment builds confidence and provides clear direction for growth
