ASSESSMENT STAGE ONE

Online CAT and Learning Workshop, Saturday 23 November 2024

All registered applicants are invited to Stage One of our Assessment Process. As part of Stage One, applicants will sit an online cognitive aptitude test (CAT) here at Ibstock. This is a computer-based test that assesses Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English and Mathematics. We use the Quest by Atom Learning CAT and further information about the assessment is set out below.

Well-turned out and well-adjusted pupils are not the products of a stressful pressure cooker but of a mixed, unbroken journey in a glorious setting.

They assess your child's ability to recall what they have been taught and apply this knowledge to solve problems.
