nferNelson Publishing Co.Ltd

nferNelson is the UK's leading independent provider of tests, assessments and assessment services for education. Our aim is to help educational professionals to understand and maximise the potential of their pupils and students. nferNelson is well established, with a national reputation for high-quality products and services that teachers trust. We publish assessments for the 0-19 age group, though the majority of our assessments are aimed at the 5-14 year-olds. These can be broadly grouped into five main categories. Knowledge, understanding and progress These assessments are largely focused on mathematics and English language. They are designed to measure learning gains � knowledge, skills and understanding in core subjects taught at school. Most of these assessments enable teachers to compare each individual pupil to a national scale, and diagnose strengths and weaknesses. Ability Our range of ability assessments explore all aspects of cognitive functioning or general conceptual ability. These measure verbal, non-verbal and spatial reasoning, and how pupils think in different situations and contexts. Again, individual performance can be compared to a national scale. Special needs Our special needs series comprises formal and informal assessments designed for individuals with special educational needs. The special needs assessments are used for diagnostic and progress checking purposes. Personal development These innovative assessments are designed to help teachers to recognise and develop social, cognitive and emotional intelligence. They offer an understanding of skills and abilities essential to the educational process, such as thinking skills and self-esteem, which can be identified and nurtured. In these areas we publish teaching resources as well as assessments. Customised assessments We create specific versions of our assessments for customers � frequently local education authorities � that wish to have unique tests. Last but not least, we also have a range of assessments for clinical psychologists and para-medical professions, particularly speech therapists. Originally founded by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), with whom we continue to work today, nferNelson has been part of the Granada Learning Group since 2000.
