RM Compare - It's time....
The landscape of education is changing. Across England, the Curriculum and Assessment Review signals the most significant renewal in decades—and with it, a powerful three-year window to rethink, rebuild, and reimagine how we understand student accomplishment.
RM Compare – It’s time...
“It’s time…” is more than a slogan. It’s a rallying cry for every educator, leader, and policymaker who believes assessment should capture the full richness of learning, not just what fits on a mark scheme or a spreadsheet. It’s time to move beyond traditional boundaries, focusing not only on what students know, but on how they create, communicate, solve problems, and grow as people.
RM Compare stands ready at this pivotal moment. Our technology powers reliable, bias-resistant, multi-modal assessment, supporting everything from creative portfolios to oracy, enriched projects, and core academic skills. Using adaptive comparative judgement, teachers and leaders can assess work side by side, building consensus, sharing standards, and reducing workload, all while gaining deeper insight into every learner.
RM Compare operates in the wider RM Assessment context where innovative, impactful work continues daily supporting world leading organisations. We are proud to be nominated in the Company of the Year award at BETT 2026.
