Connecting Steps Pricing

Connecting Steps is purchased with a large initial cost and a small ongoing fee. We aim to keep the ongoing cost of using Connecting Steps as low as possible. 

Purchasing Connecting Steps is simple, there are 3 steps…

1. Purchase Connecting Steps software for the total number of students you require.
Some of our assessment content is free, but you will require a software license for all pupils you want to use the system with.

2. Choose an optional training or setup session or use our FREE online training courses
Our FREE online, self-paced training courses are great for training all staff, but you can choose to have a training session or setup session to get you started.

3. Choose the assessment content you want to use
Content for pupils is based on the number of pupils you need to use it with. 

We have created assessment frameworks for England, Scotland and Wales, based on the relevant government guidance. Please use the relevant orderform based on the curriculum you are using:

Example Pricing – Small Primary School for pupils with SEND

A primary school looking to use the software for up to 30 pupils with SEND

You can use the system with up to 30 pupils and you will have 10 logins.

We would recommend our Primary Steps Core assessment framework. This has the first 3 levels of the Progression Steps and then moves on to the end of year outcomes which are broken down.

First Year costs

Connecting Steps Program (limited to 30 pupils) + Primary Steps Core (limited to 30 pupils) + Hosting = £875

Ongoing costs

Hosting = £175 per year

Optional

  • Why not add in Evisense, our evidence system at around £9 per year, per pupil? You can sign up for a FREE 3 month trial at any time.

You can purchase any of our other frameworks at any time, like our Autism Progress or Early Steps (for early years) and this will not increase the ongoing costs. Why not read our blog on the benefits of using software over paper, how much time you could save and how you could be more efficient. You can read the blog here

Evisense Pricing

Evisense is a powerful evidence for learning system. The social media style interface for staff and parents is simple to use, but extremely powerful. Our apps for iPhone, iPad, android (tablet and phone) and Kindle Fire means whatever device you are using, you can use the Evisense app.

A number of features make Evisense the most secure evidence for learning system. A number of controls ensure data is safe and evidence can only be accessed by the right people. If you use Evisense and Connecting Steps together, you can link evidence to the skills in Connecting Steps. You can then view the evidence from within Connecting Steps.
