Star Assessments

Nicola, Head of English: Has some positives, but equally needs careful management within school not to add to workload for staff.
Joanna N., SENCO/English Teacher/KS3 Reading Co-ordinator: I like the transparency of results, easy to sue reports, individualised test for students
S. Harris, Curricular Leader Maths & IT: I see Star Assessments as an excellent diagnostic tool and allows staff to fill any gaps in learning, espically post COVID, and gives staff and young people the confidence to know their areas of strength and areas for development.

All new schools are required to book in training with a product expert, this allows for a smooth implementation and for teachers/educators to get the most out of their Renaissance products. New customer training comes with can also include an onsite visit from one of our specialists, which many schools find engaging and motivational and allows teachers to see how their own pupils are performing and progressing. Taking this training allows teachers to get to know our programs but also start imbedding them within the school and follow our proven best practice routines.

After every training session we always send resources to the school which allows them to do in house training for twilight or INSET days.

Schools also have the option of taking top up training every year, this is especially useful to see how their first year as gone, look at annual reports or any changes, updates to the RGP platform from which Renaissance products and reports are access, and to continue imbedding our best practice. We can even work with new starters on complete overview of our programmes.
