Our detailed P Level assessment starts at P1(i) and continues up to P8. All subjects have been written with the same approach and all subjects are cross moderated against each other, so similar skills in different subjects are on the same level.

Our software version links assessment points that appear in multiple subjects, so if a skill has been achieved in one subject, it will also be shown in as achieved in the other subjects it appears in. The repetition of skills across subjects is very common in the low P Levels and saves teachers time when entering data.

The detail shown in our P Level assessment is ideal for pupils working in the P Levels and the progress they make. Each assessment point becomes important to the pupils progress and the ability to mark when a pupil has worked on something, but not achieved it and then to return to the skill later on with the pupil and mark it as achieved.

The assessment works extremely well with SLD and PMLD using the detail available at the lower levels, not available elsewhere. Our assessment software takes this further, allowing more stages of progress for each assessment point and ways of summarising the progress they have made.

One of the many benefits of the B Squared assessment system is the ability to work on multiple levels with pupils. Highlighting the areas that are holding a pupil back but also showing the areas the pupil can do at higher levels. By showing the achievements across the levels, it helps the pupils and parents by showing the skills they have learnt and gives the pupils and parents confidence in the pupils learning.

Autistic and EBD pupils have ‘spiky profiles’ – They don’t learn in a linear fashion, due to their needs. Some skills are easy and others will be very difficult to the pupil. The ability to work on multiple helps here as well. Teachers can show the skills learnt by pupils on the different levels and highlight to the pupil and parents where the difficulties are and where extra focus is needed.
