This webinar is an introduction to the new B Squared Analytics Platform. Are you spending a long time in Excel analysing data? Are you comparing groups of students but still not getting meaningful data? Watch this webinar to find out how much time we can save you.
Using Connecting Steps enables us to discuss progress in an informed way that is standardised across the whole school. Our educational aim for a uniform data package is met, whilst multiple assessment frameworks to meet a variety of learning needs enable us to show progress for all of our pupils.
B Squared’s Connecting Steps has allowed us to celebrate successes on a micro level. This means we can still show progress for pupils who make slower improvements or for those going through a tough time. Experiencing small successes is so important for our pupils and our teachers.
Connecting Steps has given our teaching staff the confidence to accurately track children’s data and use it to inform future planning. This has lead to a more accurate knowledge of our pupils’ strengths and difficulties, more precise teaching and better outcomes for children with SEND.

B Squared’s assessment software makes tracking and monitoring data across school easy. It’s simple to use and has given staff a common language when it comes to assessment. Most importantly, we can now celebrate every step of progress a child makes, not just the larger blocks.
Working with B Squared, we have found an assessment system that we can intrinsically link into our ambitious curriculum – from Early Years through to Preparation for Adulthood. We can now see the sustained progress our pupils are making and share these successes with parents.
B Squared has played an important role in helping to unify our school’s assessment approach, reduce workload, and clarify how we measure progress. Using multiple assessment frameworks within Connecting Steps, we can now assess the progress of ALL of our pupils with mixed abilities in one assessment system!
B Squared’s Connecting Steps allows us to demonstrate student progress in a range of ways which suits our learners better as progress is not always linear. The small step descriptors ensure we can acknowledge all of our children’s achievements, building a clear picture of each child’s individual learning journey.
