Struggling to find the right assessment system for your school?

A multitude of different systems are available for formative and summative assessment in schools. Choosing which is right for your Primary School can be a big challenge.

Many schools end up using more than one system to track the progress of pupils working at different school assessment levels. This leaves pupil tracking data spread across different systems, making it difficult to compare and analyse progress. Is your school wasting time and money using two assessment systems?
