Subject-Specific Assessment System
A configurable Excel-based assessment system for tracking learner progress against subject-specific success criteria in areas such as English and Maths.
Excel-based - Microsoft 365 · Built around your curriculum
Built to connect curriculum, teaching and assessment
The Subject-Specific Assessment System helps staff record progress against curriculum-linked success criteria in a clear and consistent way. It is designed to support live formative assessment, highlight gaps in understanding, and make progress easier to review at learner, class and whole-setting level.
Built around your curriculum
Start from a generic SWS English or Maths curriculum framework, or adapt the system around your provision’s own curriculum, levels, success criteria and assessment language.
Simple judgement workflow
Staff record progress using a clear 1–3 judgement scale, supported by RAG-style visual feedback and consistent assessment grids.
Progress and gap analysis
Use the data to identify strengths, areas for re-teaching, and learners who may need additional support or intervention.
Reporting and insight
Bring class data together through structured reporting workflows, helping leaders review progress across groups, subjects and cohorts.
