What is ASPECTS?
*Please note, this is Cambridge Centre for Evaluation & Monitoring's assessment solution for 3-4 year olds. For other age groups, take a look at BASE (4-5), Cambridge Primary Insights (5-11), MidYIS (11-14), Yellis (14-16), or Alis (16-19).
ASPECTS is a child- and teacher-friendly assessment, designed to help you identify your student’s unique development profile, their strengths, and needs.
A short, story-style interactive assessment, ASPECTS provides you with reliable data to allow your teaching brilliance to come to the fore. Through this assessment not only can you understand and benchmark their development profile, but set them up for a bigger, brighter future from the very beginning.
We believe that there are many benefits to ASPECTS assessment, both short and long term.

- Understand every child’s starting point in their journey with you
- Plan effective support with objective evidence to help your pupil progress
