Struggling to show progress for your pupils with SEND?

SEN assessment

Track the smallest steps of progress made by pupils with SEND against the pre key stage standards

  • Show progress made by pupils with SEND in a variety of ways
  • Easily identify next steps
  • Highlight a series of achievements that lead up to mastering a skill – ideal to show progress for children who develop in very small steps
  • Choose a small number of steps for pupils working at ARE for quick and easy assessment. Then choose more steps for pupils with SEND, to demonstrate progression towards mastering a skill
  • Show non-linear progress for pupils who do not fit into ‘standard’ assessment steps. Our frameworks enable this, as they do not require one level to be completed before starting on the next

Want to report on progress made by pupils with SEND alongside their peers working at Age Related Expectations?
