In this edition, we have an exciting New Release – Student Level Value Added Scores, and some helpful Gradepoint guides to help you upload your autumn monitoring data into Connect. New Feature Release 15/10/2024 Student Value Added Scores Following customer feedback, each individual student now has a Student Value Added Score (VAS) which can be sorted and filtered, so your teachers and pastoral staff can easily spot who is above, on or below target for celebration or intervention.
