Georgina Cook

After studying for an English Literature and Education Degree, Georgina then studied for a Masters in English Literature. She used her love for learning and language to forge a career in teaching, leading literacy and English across a variety of secondary schools in the East of England. Georgina’s roles in school also included improving teaching and learning, QA and coaching.

Georgina left the classroom to join GL Assessment as an Education Advisor within our MAT team and has since used her extensive knowledge of improving fluency to support her team and keep abreast of the ever-changing educational landscape. Georgina is now one of our Assessment Owners, championing our New Group Reading Test, New Group Spelling Test and Progress Test Series, and providing our Product team with crucial customer feedback that enables us to be truly responsive to what schools need from our assessments.

In addition, Georgina works as a volunteer for the National Literacy Trust and as a mentor for Whole Education’s Words for All programme. She is also a local governor at a secondary school, using her experience to support curriculum and standards, and is a regular examiner and tutor for the English curriculums.
