English Benchmark
English Benchmark Young Learners measures the four core skills — reading, listening, writing and speaking — through activities pitched at the child's age and level.
In use
What it is
An adult test given to an eight-year-old mostly measures their anxiety. English Benchmark is built the other way round: the child plays, and the teacher gets a detailed progress report identifying each pupil's strengths and what to work on. Parents get the same report, in language they can read.
Ages 6 to 13
Designed for this age group, not scaled down from an adult test.
All four skills
Reading, listening, writing, speaking — none of them left out.
Progress reports
Strengths and areas to improve, pupil by pupil, for teacher and parent alike.
✓attested
Recognition and certification
English Benchmark is a formative assessment, not a certifying exam: it places the pupil and tracks progress. For recognised certification, the pupil later sits a certifying Pearson test once they are old enough and ready.

Frequently asked
Is it an exam?
No. There is no pass or fail. It places the child on a scale and shows what they can do — which is exactly what a teacher needs in order to adjust the lesson.
What cohort size does a deployment need?
It depends on your organisation. We settle cohort size and logistics during the initial audit.
