What a Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessment Examines

A comprehensive psychoeducational assessment provides Kings College families, teachers, and learning support staff with a detailed clinical understanding of how a student learns, processes information, regulates attention, manages academic demands, and functions within a bilingual British-curriculum environment.

The assessment examines:

• Cognitive abilities, reasoning, and problem-solving
• Working memory, processing speed, and learning efficiency
• Reading, spelling, written expression, and mathematics attainment
• Attention regulation, concentration, and impulsivity
• Executive functioning skills including organisation, planning, task initiation, and self-monitoring
• Emotional wellbeing, school anxiety, and academic stress
• Behavioural and social functioning
• Learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, autism spectrum profiles, and processing difficulties

What the Assessment Unlocks

A Global Education Testing comprehensive assessment supports Kings College families and learning support staff in identifying special educational needs, planning classroom and executive functioning interventions, structuring emotional wellbeing support, and applying for examination access arrangements.

The diagnostic findings, where clinically appropriate, support:

• Extra time in examinations (commonly 25 per cent, with 50 or 100 per cent available where the diagnostic profile supports it)
• Supervised rest breaks
• A separate or smaller examination room with reduced distraction
• Use of a laptop or word processor
• Reader, scribe, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech support
• Modified paper formats and assistive technology
• A prompter for students with attention difficulties
• Permission to take medication during examinations
• Organisational, executive functioning, and differentiated classroom strategies

About Kings College La Moraleja

Kings College School La Moraleja sits on a hill overlooking Alcobendas, with views toward the Guadarrama Mountains. The school serves around 625 students from age three to Year 11, following the English National Curriculum across Nursery, Primary, and Secondary.

Students who continue to Sixth Form transfer to the sister Kings College campus at Soto de Viñuelas, where the choice between Pearson Edexcel A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme opens up.

Kings La Moraleja is part of the Kings Group, owned by Inspired Education. The school was accredited as Spain’s first High Performance Learning World Class School in 2020, holds a BSO Outstanding rating, and IGCSE results consistently exceed UK GCSE averages.

Kings College La Moraleja students sit Pearson Edexcel IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11. Access arrangements for Pearson Edexcel are governed by JCQ, which requires specific documentation including a completed Form 8 in many cases. The documentation must come from a qualified external assessor.

Once students transfer to Soto de Viñuelas for Sixth Form, the same JCQ framework continues to apply for Pearson Edexcel A Level examinations.

The International Baccalaureate operates its own Inclusive Access Arrangements process for IB Diploma students, with documentation requirements that overlap with JCQ in most areas.

A single Global Education Testing (Madrid) assessment commissioned for a Kings student is structured to satisfy both JCQ and the IB, and supports the student through the full examination pipeline without needing to be repeated.

The same report supports College Board access arrangements for SAT, PSAT, ACT, and AP for US university applications, UCAS applications and UK university learning support services, and Spanish university entrance through EvAU.
