Assess, Plan, Do, Review

Our skill gap analysis platform utilises question-level data to provide detailed insights into your students’ learning gaps and supports targeted interventions in KS2 Maths, English and Science.

Our assessments are aligned to SATs, White Rose Maths, PUMA and PIRA to build familiarity between pupils, the assessment questions within elastik and end of year exams.

Your story

The background

Let’s imagine your school uses multiple assessments to evaluate the progress of your students. The problem is that these assessments only provide attainment data; a top-level guide to student performance which, in some instances, is provided a long time after the assessment has taken place. It also takes a huge amount of every teacher’s time to analyse the data and gather meaningful insights. You worry that some students will fall through the cracks and you want to change.

Our solution

By using Elastik’s skill gap analysis tool, you can focus on providing effective and immediate interventions to students.  Once assessments have been completed in-platform, you can immediately see if a student, cohort or class is struggling with a particular concept and can teach to the gap. Particularly useful for students in need of extra support. Lower abilities and higher achievers can all benefit as skill gaps in understanding are identified. Your teaching is targeted and all students achieve their potential.
