Educational Psychology Assessments

No, enquire today and we'll 

• Students up to Year 8: Two sessions of approximately 2 hours each
• Students in Year 9 and above: One session of approximately 3–3.5 hours.

These timeframes are a guide only. The exact duration can vary depending on your child’s pace, processing speed, and need for breaks.

The written report is typically completed and sent within 3–4 weeks following the assessment. Certain factors can affect completion timeline. This can be:

• Public holidays
• Sickness or planned leave

There are a few important steps to help ensure the assessment is as accurate and meaningful as possible.

Before the appointment, you’ll be asked to complete an intake form and provide any relevant reports (such as school reports or previous assessments).

On the day, please:

• Ensure your child has had a good night’s sleep and has eaten
• Bring snacks and a drink for scheduled breaks
• Make sure any regular medication is taken as usual (if applicable)

When talking to your child, keep it positive and reassuring. You might explain that they’ll be doing some activities to help understand how they learn best, rather than describing it as a “test.”

These steps help your child feel comfortable and allow us to get the most accurate picture of their learning profile.

An invoice will be sent approximately 1 week (on a Wednesday) after the assessment.

Reports are typically completed within 3–4 weeks of the assessment. To ensure everything is finalised and ready for release, reports are reviewed and then dispatched once full payment has been received.

We appreciate your understanding, as this process helps us maintain a high standard of accuracy and quality for every family.

If you’d like further support understanding your child’s results, Suzanne Buswell (former Head of Learning Support) is available to provide a more in-depth walkthrough and answer any questions.

If your child is aged 6 and above and ADHD is observed during the assessment, we can provide the add-on of the Conners-4 forms, which are a standardised set of forms completed by parents and teachers (and the child if 8 years+).  The Conners-4 results will provide you with interim results and an indication of the likelihood of ADHD in a percentage format.  The interim results also inform whether you should pursue a paediatric or child psychiatrist appointment for a full clinical diagnosis.  The clinical data obtained from the Connors forms will be provided to the practitioner of your choice.

If further investigation is required, a neurodevelopmental assessment process are the next steps to take.
