Frequently asked questions

Which assessments are available through Quest?

Quest offers a comprehensive suite of standardised assessments measuring attainment, potential, and attitudes:

  • Maths, English, and Science assessments for Years 1–9
  • Cognitive Potential assessments for Years 1–12
  • Wellbeing surveys for Years 1–12, covering attitudes, engagement, and wellbeing
  • EYFS and Phonics assessments to track progress from the very start of a child's learning journey
  • Multiplication Checks to build and demonstrate fluency
  • Dyslexia Screeners for early identification of literacy difficulties and appropriate support
What sample size was used to standardise the Quest assessments?

Quest is standardised on one of the largest and most recent national samples available, with fresh content — data from over 40,000 pupils across the UK — giving schools accurate, reliable benchmarks.

We're not stopping there. We're continuing to expand our standardisation so that partner schools will soon be able to benchmark against schools with similar demographics — independent vs. state, selective vs. non-selective, high or low PP/FSM/SEN/EAL, geography, and more — alongside the national sample.

How much training will our staff need?

Very little. Quest is built to be intuitive and accessible to everyone, but we back it up with real support:

  • Every school receives free dedicated training
  • A personal account manager helps you get the most from your data and reporting

We believe exceptional support is just as important as the product itself.

Are Quest assessments accessible to all pupils?

Yes. All assessments comply fully with Ofqual guidance, including:

  • Extra time functionality
  • Dyslexia-friendly fonts
  • Full-screen mode
  • Text-to-speech
  • Options to pause for movement or toilet breaks

Quest also works seamlessly on any device, including tablets — so every pupil can perform at their best.

Are Quest Assessments available online or on paper?

Both. Assessments can be taken online on any device (including tablets) or printed for paper-based use.

  • Digital assessments are marked automatically and instantly
  • Paper assessments take just minutes to mark, thanks to scan-marking technology

We're on a mission to cut down your workload, however you choose to assess.

How helpful is Quest for SATs preparation?

Quest is designed first to give schools objective, reliable progress data and rich insight — helping you track attainment, spot gaps early, and avoid surprises at the end of Key Stage 2.

For SATs specifically, Quest supports familiarisation and preparation through:

  • Questions that reflect the proportional content coverage and difficulty of past SATs papers
  • Objectives directly aligned to the KS2 testing frameworks and SATs content domains
  • Diagnostic insight from Year 3, with QLAs linked to SATs strands for early intervention

Coming soon: Quest outcomes will map statistically to expected KS2 scaled scores, giving you a genuine accountability lens without leaving the platform — visible in dashboards, reports, and CSVs. New filters will let you cut straight to what matters: borderline pupils, newly at-risk pupils, now-secure pupils, projected cohort outcomes, and intervention priorities.

We're also adding mock SATs papers with automated marking (including long-form answers), SATs chances graphs and predictions, and more — all rooted in data from the largest national sample of primary schools in the UK.

Is Quest Progress useful for groups of schools / multi-academy trusts?

Yes — Quest is the first platform to give group executives a true bird's-eye view of what's happening across their schools, with objective, reliable, and consistent data in real time.

Group-level dashboards let executives:

  • Track key group statistics
  • Flag high-priority schools
  • Drill into any individual school's data in a single click

Learn more on our Group Executive page.

What reports will we get?

Multi-level reports at every layer: group/trust, whole school, year group, class, and individual pupil.

Data is presented through interactive dashboards, digestible PDF reports, and downloadable spreadsheets if you'd like to store it elsewhere — Quest connects directly with your MIS. Customisable parent reports are also available, ideal for parent conversations or direct sharing.

Zoom in or out on whatever matters most, spot trends, and triangulate data to maximise your insights.

Coming very soon: SATs, GCSE, and A-Level predictions for individual pupils, in-app.

How much does Quest cost?

More for less. Assessment and progress tracking has become far too expensive for schools and trusts — Quest changes that.

Pricing starts from £1.50 per pupil per assessment, with discounts available for groups and bundled packages.

Visit our pricing page for full details.

Will Quest Progress work with our curriculum?

Yes. All Quest assessments align with the National Curriculum and draw on key frameworks including Development Matters and the Ready-to-Progress criteria.

Content and progression mirror classroom teaching across major schemes — including White Rose Maths and Read Write Inc. — so assessments always reflect what pupils have actually been taught.

How is Quest Progress different from other assessment providers?

Quest is more than a record of data — it's progress tracking with purpose.

Partnering with Quest radically reduces workload for your staff while delivering clear, curriculum-aligned insight. It's easy to implement, and data is presented in a way that makes next steps crystal clear and encourages action.
