Consent is needed - March 2021

Consent for using MARK and Shine 
We have bought into NTS Maths Assessments (Years 1-6), along with Shine targeted Maths interventions, and PIRA Reading Assessments (Years 2-6) through Hodder Education. This provides children with a paper-based reading and maths assessment each term that will be used to measure their progress, provide a reading or maths age, attainment and will provide another tool for teachers to pinpoint and plan for gaps in learning. The results of these assessments will be inputted into a software system called MARK that will use the information from our management information system for each child. This will include names, dates of birth, Pupil Premium, Looked After Children, SEN and EAL. When the children’s results are entered onto MARK by their class teacher, it provides a detailed analysis of pupils’ answers and next steps in learning. Shine also provides interventions and teaching activities based on each child’s results.

Spelling Shed 

The Spelling Shed helps children to practise spelling via a simple game. The game gives four different degrees of support in the form of difficulty modes; Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme. Higher levels allow a higher score to be achieved but children can practise as much as they like on lower levels before trying to gain high scores. The scores achieved give a league position and each class has its own league position within a school league and our world league. Spelling Shed also allows for homework and whole-class “Hive” games as a more interactive form of a spelling test. Your child’s teacher will set lists of words that your child should practise and will monitor their progress. 

To be entered into the Spelling Shed system a small amount of information will be added to our database. We will use the children’s Teams logins as details to enter.
