Assess / Small Steps Assessment

The pupils you choose, the steps you watch, the evidence as it lands.

Choose the pupils, set the pathway, and record evidence step by step, with attention and staleness flagged when a pathway has not moved.

Assessment evidence supports teacher judgement. Staff remain responsible for interpreting learning and deciding the next step.

From evidence to teaching response

A pathway that stays honest

Small-steps work is deliberate: chosen pupils, a focused pathway, and evidence gathered as it happens.

  1. 01

    Choose the pathway

    Pick the pupil and the pathway that fits what is being worked on.

  2. 02

    Add evidence as it happens

    Small steps get their evidence recorded against the pathway, step by step.

  3. 03

    Review where attention flags

    Attention and staleness show on the pathway, so review goes where the flags are, and what a step means stays the teacher's call.

Evidence in context

Flags, not verdicts

The pathway shows what has been recorded and what has gone quiet; it does not decide what either means.

  • Pathways per chosen pupil
  • Evidence recorded against steps
  • Attention and staleness flags on the pathway

What changes when Small Steps Assessment is connected

The value of Small Steps Assessment is the route from current evidence to an accountable next step, with the people and context around the work kept visible.

Pathways for the pupils staff chose to watch closely

Evidence recorded against steps, not in a drawer

Attention and staleness visible, judgement human
