What began as one school's better way to measure progress has grown into a national movement — and it's still evolving.
Founded as the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate — a collaboration between leading UK prep schools seeking a fuller way to assess children up to age 13, beyond exam results alone.
The PSB grows to more than 40 junior and prep schools, supported by over 50 senior schools who advise and accept the PSB certificate at 11+ and 13+.
The Trust is established as the umbrella charity, bringing the PSB together with a bolder ambition: skills-based education across a child's entire school journey.
We launch the Skills Development Framework — extending our approach up to Year 13, and bringing skills assessment firmly into the modern secondary classroom.
Join a community of schools shaping what education measures — and why.
