GL Centre of Excellence

St Bede's Catholic Middle School is very proud to be awarded the status as a GL Centre of Excellence.

This is awarded to schools who are confident on using the range of assessments that GL have to offer. The accolade as Centre of Excellence means that staff at St Bede's are involved in running training sessions, helping other schools use assessments effectively, writing blogs and speaking at conferences and webinars. 

As a partner school, St Bede's works closely with GL to help trial products as well as giving feedback to help the company continue to develop. GL is now a worldwide company and has conducted over 30 million online assessments in 2020.

GL data is used effectively in school, to help diagnose gaps in pupils learning in English, science and maths. It also diagnoses issues around mental health and helps diagnose pupils who may have dyslexia and dyscalculia. For further information on GL and what they can offer please click on their website:
