Did you know that we’ve capped our costs?

We have recently changed our pricing model to make it cheaper and more cost effective. The maximum ongoing cost has been capped at £700 a year, regardless of the size of your school!

Track progress for ALL your pupils for £700 or less per year

Some schools pay for 2 assessment systems, one for pupils with SEN, then another system to track pupils working at ARE, potentially paying £1,000-£2,000 or more per year. With our capped annual figure, schools can make significant savings by using one Assessment System for ALL pupils!
