One teaching question at a time
Record what a pupil with SEND can do, one small teaching question at a time: not observed, not met, met with support, met independently or no fair opportunity. Each saved judgement keeps its history, anything not recorded stays unknown, and the teacher decides what the evidence means.
Share context and move from signal to action without buying separate modules.
£4.25 per pupil/year before volume discounts of 5% to 20%, £250 minimum/year, excluding VAT
The strongest fit
Special schools and mainstream SEND teams that want to record small-step evidence for pupils working outside age-related expectations, beside the SEND record, with teachers interpreting what each judgement shows.
A clear boundary
Evidence before assertion
Use a walkthrough to record a judgement for one teaching question, add the detail behind it and read its saved history, with a pupil and pack that match your setting.
From the help centre
This help centre guide shows teachers and SENCos each step of recording a Small Steps judgement in Student Radar, including the detail, the answer-cue check and the saved history.
Connected school work
Schools searching for “small steps assessment software” usually need clarity, prioritisation, and a way to move from insight to action without adding another spreadsheet.
Small-step evidence that keeps “not observed” and “no fair opportunity” apart from “not met”
A record of the support and cues behind each judgement
A dated history of each question for the next planning conversation
Product intent only; these are not presented as verified customer outcome claims.
“Met independently” with answer cues noted is held until the teacher says whether the cues helped
Detail left blank is recorded as unknown, not as a result
A changed judgement is added to the history; saved judgements are not overwritten
Choose a pupil with a recorded SEN status, the curriculum phase that fits what they are working on, from EYFS to KS5, and a subject pack. The phase does not have to match the pupil’s year group.
Click the judgement that fits what you saw. It saves straight away with your name and the time. Add a note, the task, access arrangements, any cues given and the next teaching move; anything left blank stays unknown.
Each question keeps every saved judgement, newest first, with who recorded it and when. Recorded targets lists the questions assessed for a pupil across packs. The judgements inform the teacher’s view; they do not establish attainment on their own.
Use these product capability descriptions as a procurement checklist against the tools and processes you already use.

One of five judgements: not observed, not met, met with support, met independently or no fair opportunity. A note, the task, access arrangements, any answer cues and the next teaching move can be added; anything left blank is recorded as unknown.
No. Judgements save as soon as they are recorded. Reviewing means reading each question’s saved history, which shows every judgement with who recorded it and when.
No. A judgement records what was observed for one question. Use it alongside your other assessment and what you know of the pupil.
Pupils recorded as having SEN support, an EHCP or another SEN status. Teachers, SENCos, senior leaders and headteachers can record by default; teaching assistants and governors cannot, and schools can change who has access.
Each pack lists its sources and coverage in the app. Check them against your own curriculum in a walkthrough before relying on a pack.
