Who makes NFER Tests?

The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) is a charity and, like you, we know that the lives and futures of young people worldwide are inextricably linked to the quality of education they receive. NFER was founded in 1946 with the aim of providing research and insight into education to influence policy and practice and to positively improve outcomes for future generations.

This means that when you use NFER resources in your classroom you are supporting our charitable aims and your pupils are benefitting from NFER’s expertise in assessment and education, spanning more than 75 years.
