Connect Updates

  1. New Interactive Tables in Strategic: Once you identify in your Strategic Section which group needs attention, this newest tool in Connect allows you to identify the individual students contributing to numbers and grades. This is now available within several of the tables in the strategic section.

  2. KS4 - additional student analysis feature: In response to colleagues asking for a more detailed analysis of subjects falling on, above or below the MEG target at KS4, we have released a new feature that works at an individual student level and determines exactly how many subjects fall into these categories.

  3. KS5 attainment measures: A level attainment measures are now available in Connect.

  4. KS4 attainment measures including Progress 8: KS4 attainment measures, including progress 8 are now available in Connect.
