About us

Two parents, two educators, one stubborn belief.

We kept meeting the same quiet worry in parents: the fear that a number was about to decide their child's future. It isn't. We started More Than a Score to hand that reassurance to more families, from people who've seen the pressure from both sides of the desk, and at our own kitchen tables.

Why we do this

Between us we've marked the assessments, coordinated the subjects, supported thousands of students and families, run the school, and worried at our own kitchen tables. We kept meeting the same fear and worry in parents and people early in their career: that a number somehow decides their child's, or their own, path.
It doesn't.

We've watched too many people find their path somewhere no score could have predicted. More Than a Score is helps parents, young people and families redefine success and pathways. We do this through powerful conversations and sharing practical ways to make one small shift to help you with your pathway.
