How Connecting Steps can help

Connecting Steps is designed to make assessment and tracking progress easier. So that you can spend time doing what you do best – teaching!

  • No need to run more than one assessment system
  • Quicker and easier analysis of ALL pupils’ progress
  • Identify gaps and pupils’ next steps quickly and easily
  • Demonstrate whole school progress
  • Multiple assessment frameworks to cover pupils working at age related expectations and those with SEND across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2

Connecting Steps works differently to other school assessment systems. Instead of teachers giving a level at the end of each year, the focus is on continuous assessment to help pupils achieve their full potential.

Primary School assessment challenges

inclusive primary school assessment

Assessment in Primary Schools has become more and more complex and challenging.

  • There are more children with SEND in mainstream primaries
  • A wide range of abilities are taught in 1 classroom
  • Teachers are striving to identify gaps and differentiate teaching – but this can be very challenging
  • Schools often end up working with more than 1 assessment system to track the progress of ALL their pupils – 1 for children working at Age Related Expectations and another for those with special needs

Our Connecting Steps software simplifies assessment for Primary Schools, saving time and money for your school. Record all your pupils’ achievements in one easy to use inclusive system. Analyse progress and identify next steps for a full range of abilities. Demonstrate whole school progress quickly and easily.

Is it time to rethink your Primary School assessment?

Does this sound like your school?

  • Wasting lots of time and money using two assessment systems?
  • Spending a huge amount of time trying to analyse pupil progress from different assessment systems?
  • Working with complex assessment systems that are difficult to master?

Find out more about the advantages of using one inclusive assessment system like Connecting Steps, instead of running two or more assessment systems for children of different abilities in your school. Book a FREE, no obligation online meeting with us.
