It’s important for your school to start using our new faster Connecting Steps V5 assessment software NOW because we will be switching over from V4 to V5 on 31 December.

Our Early Steps 2021 assessment framework covers both the EYFS 2021 and the new Development Matters. Over 90 early years settings are already using it and their feedback has been great.

What is Evisense? An e-portfolio, an online learning journal or a digital evidence of learning system? The answer is all of them. Evisense allows you to ‘tell the story’ of a child’s learning, quickly and easily via a digital evidence of learning system.

The B Squared team has been working on a major upgrade to our existing Connecting Steps assessment software for the past 12 months. We are beyond excited to share the news with you that it’s nearly ready.

The B Squared team has been hard at work creating our new Early Steps 2021 assessment framework since the launch of the Early Years Foundation Stage 2021 Framework for early adopters, and the release of the new Development Matters 2020. We’re pleased to share the news that it’s now available to purchase.

B Squared’s assessment frameworks have already been updated to fit the new RSE curriculum. This means teachers can easily assess pupils’ progress in relationships education, RSE and health education from day one. Effective ongoing assessment in these new curriculum areas is important because it enables teachers to give valuable feedback to pupils and their parents. It also helps staff to report progress to the governing body, and monitor assessment and continuity in their new schemes of work.
