Secondary Steps

An easy to use observation-based assessment framework for secondary schools

Curriculum: Secondary National Curriculum – Key stages 3 & 4 (GCSE)

Connecting Steps assessment framework: Secondary Steps

GCSE predictions and progress monitoring across key stages 3 and 4

B Squared has created Secondary Steps for the assessment of pupils who are working across key stage 3 and 4 of the National Curriculum. Used within our Connecting Steps software, this framework helps teachers with GCSE predictions and to monitor where pupils are on the 1-9 flightpath system.

1 to 9 flightpath system to track pupil progress

Based on the new 1 - 9 GCSEs, Secondary Steps is designed to be used from Year 7 onwards. We have created our new 1 to 9 flightpath system to track pupil progress across Secondary Education. The software contains breakdowns across over 25 GCSE subjects between years 7 to 11. Teachers can use the breakdowns to identify which flightpath a pupil is on and the skills they need to achieve by the end of the year to remain on track.
