Home / For schools & colleges / Assessment & reporting

What you can show, and when you can show it.

Four assessment points, one student record, and three reports named for the occasion you need them: department review, parents' evening, and inspection and accreditation.

1 BEFORE YOU START Foundations Challenge Sets the baseline 2 END OF EVERY MODULE Mastery check Concepts + working code 3 END OF EVERY LEVEL Rubric-graded artifact Something they built 4 WHEN YOU NEED IT Reports Three, one per occasion
One record, built at four points. Everything a report shows is drawn from it.

Assessment & reporting

Evidence you can present with confidence.

Every student record starts with a diagnostic, is checked at the end of every module, and is graded against a published rubric at every level. The same record is what you see, at school, class or student level.

Four points where a student is assessed

01
Week one · 30 minutes

The Foundations Challenge

A diagnostic quiz every student takes before Module 1: AI fundamentals, how software works, and where the two differ. It produces a baseline per student and per cohort, so the growth you report later is measured against a real starting point, not a guess.

02
End of every module

Mastery checks

A short, marked check at the close of each of the eight modules: a mix of concept questions and a small piece of working code. Scores land in Google Classroom automatically.

03
End of every level

Rubric-marked artifact

Each level ends in something built: a first program, a predictive model, a network. It is marked by your teacher against our per-level rubric, with exemplar student work at each grade so marking is consistent between staff.

04
Year five

The capstone

A production model in Keras / TensorFlow with a written explanation of how it works and where it fails. Moderated by our team on request, and the basis of the final credential.

Why this matters at renewal

Free curriculum exists. What it lacks is a five-year sequence with assessment built in, verifiable student credentials, and a report you can hand to a governor.

Illustrative data. The same record, three zoom levels: school, class and one student.

Reporting

Three moments you need a report for. Each one is a button.

The dashboard produces these three reports, each named for the occasion it is for.

Termly

Department review

Class-by-class progress against the scope and sequence, mastery-check distributions, and the students flagged for support, with what was done about it.

PDF 4–6 pages per class
Per student

Parents' evening

One sheet per student: where they started, where they are, their last three checks and the artifact they built. Written so a parent with no AI background can read it in two minutes.

PDF 1 page each
On demand

Inspection & accreditation

Curriculum intent, implementation and impact in one pack: the sequence, the assessment points, the rubrics, cohort baselines and outcomes over time, and how student data is handled.

PDF + CSV whole school

How grades flow

Nothing to re-key. Nothing to reconcile.

Teachers keep working in Google Classroom. The program feeds it, and the dashboard reads from the same place.

1 · In the program
Student completes a mastery check
Auto-marked concept questions plus a short code task, at the end of every module.
2 · Google Classroom
The grade appears in your gradebook
As an assignment in the class your teacher already runs, under your school's Google Workspace, not ours.
3 · Class dashboard
The teacher sees the class move
Who is ahead, who is stuck on which module, and who needs a word this week.
4 · School reports
Leadership sees the whole picture
Grade level by grade level, term by term, exportable for the occasion in front of you.

Thirty minutes online, school, class and student level, built from the same record these reports come from.
