Our Approach

Our Approach

We provide a robust and flexible assessment management service designed to handle high and fluctuating volumes of student referrals throughout the academic year.

Our approach has been successfully used by a growing number of schools, colleges and universities. It is built on three priorities:

  • Positive student experience and outcomes
  • Operational efficiency and timely communications
  • Tailored professional service and bespoke assessment reports as required by the institution
Our clients

Our clients

We work with a range of schools, college and universities both in the UK and abroad.

These include:

  • Local Schools and FE Colleges
  • Online schools and colleges
  • International schools
  • Exam Centres
  • Universities
  • Independent Schools
  • Apprenticeship providers

We have a proven track record of managing large volumes of student referrals for some bigger universities, but are equally happy to accommodate smaller schools, colleges and universities that may only require the occasional assessment on an ad-hoc basis.

No matter what the size of the organisation, or number of referrals, we provide the same high-quality assessment journey from referral to report.

Flexibility That Improves Student Outcomes

Flexibility That Improves Student Outcomes

Our remote assessment model allows us to work flexibly around individual student circumstances, including shift patterns, family responsibilities, and placements.

By placing the student at the centre of the booking process, we:

  • Reduce non-attendance and late cancellations
  • Are happy to rearrange appointments where genuinely needed
  • Maintain a cancellation rate of under 1% of booked assessments

This flexibility supports student engagement while reducing administrative burden for universities.

Thanks for listening and being supportive. It was a great insight and a big eye-opener, and I wish I had done this months ago!

We have used My Kind of Thinking to complete assessments for our students for the last 4 years. Our students find the assessment process a positive experience and Alice always takes the time to talk through the outcomes with us, and we have been able to use the recommendations to help our students as they progress through their courses with us.
