Assessment data for all your schools in one place

From trust-wide insights to seamless setup, every part of Smartgrade is shaped around the way MATs operate.

Our guiding principles

Smartgrade has opinions about what good assessment looks like, and we are proud to work with thousands of schools and MATs that share our values.

Curriculum comes first

To assess effectively we need to understand what we were trying to teach in the first place. If your assessment approach does not align with your curriculum, then it’ll struggle to give you actionable information.

Assessment quality matters

We work with our assessment partners and MATs to help them iteratively improve their assessments.

We reduce teacher workload wherever we can

When we design our products, we think about teacher workload at each step. Our online markbooks are super simple to use, and our online assessments allow students to enter their results directly into Smartgrade, reducing marking.

Analysis should drive decision-making

We want every report in Smartgrade to lead to action. It’s easy to get caught up in creating endless reports that look pretty but lack a clear purpose. So we make sure Smartgrade analysis reports are always clear, show national context wherever possible, and lead to simplified decision-making for school leaders.

We believe in the power of standardisation

If you’re using unbenchmarked assessments, it’s hard to know what good looks like. That’s why assessments on our platform contextualise performance using a MAT or national standardisation sample. This means that teachers and leaders get meaningful benchmarking data to help them understand performance and spot gaps in learning.
