Updates, Events & Announcements

We’re delighted to announce that our new Provision Mapping and Learning Plan tools are now available for everyone.

The Provision Mapping tools can be accessed via the new Provisions button on the menu bar. You can create and view learning plans in the new Learning Plans tab within the Pupils section.

As ever, our support team are on hand to help, but if you’re looking to make use of these new features we advise reading through the Provision Mapping and Learning Plan guides as a good start point.

We’re in the process of moving to our new MIS sync partner, Wonde.

If you’re currently using Assembly, you’ll need to switch to Wonde instead. This should be a straightforward process, and there should be no break in service – your data will continue to sync through Assembly until you move to Wonde.

Dates: 10th, 17th, 22nd Nov
Locations: Cheltenham, Portishead, Solihull
Host: James Pembroke (Sig+)

Covering everything you need to know about statutory assessment, accountability measures, standardised tests, and tracking pupils’ progress.

We’ve updated the Overviews – Attainment report to show a nominal scaled score for Writing when the options “SAT Scaled Score” and “Writing” specifically are selected. This brings the report back in line with other reports (eg Tables and Headlines) which work the same way.

This means you can easily show bar charts and Venn diagrams for attainment in Reading, Writing and Maths on one page.

KS2 practice SATs can provide valuable information on gaps in pupils’ understanding. But getting a clear view of problem areas may involve a lot of Excel data wrangling. Plus, you can’t tell how your pupils will compare to the national cohort.

Insight has partnered with Smartgrade to help you get the most out of KS2 practice SATs.

The 2021/22 academic year sees some important changes to the assessment codes used at the end of key stages 1 and 2 and marks the end of a phased transition in the approach to assessment of pupils with SEND. These changes, that come into force this year, have been delayed due to the pandemic.

Our friends at Carousel Learning are launching a version of their retrieval practice and quizzing tool that is tailored to the needs of primaries.

They’re looking for early adopter primaries to help them shape the product and test drive their question banks. Please email adam@carousel-learning.com for more information.

In a previous help guide, we demonstrated how to use progress columns in tables to calculate the difference (or change) between two assessments; we also have a guide on monitoring targets using Progress Overviews.

In our new guide, we’ll combine these concepts to show you how to use progress columns in tables to monitor pupils’ progress towards targets.
