April 2026

13 April, 2026

Two Tracker Modes introduced

New feature

We've introduced two modes for all trackers: Data Entry - for entering students’ marks quickly and efficiently, and Tracker Analysis - a read-only mode that allows you to engage with your data.

9 April, 2026

New Best Maths column in KS4 Grade Analysis

Improvement

A new Best Maths column in the KS4 Grade Analysis allows you to see each student’s highest valid Maths grade across multiple Maths trackers. You can also filter students by Best Maths grades.


March 2026

26 March, 2026

Export Trust Level Assessment Data

New feature

A new Exports feature within the Trust area allows Trust Users to download an XLSX file of assessment data across all selected schools. This means you can collate QLA, Total Marks and Grades in bulk for further analysis.

Create Saved Filters

Improvement

You can now save your most used filter combinations with customisable names and colours for reapplying with ease and for sharing with your department.

Default zoom level reduced in Trackers and Analysis

Improvement

We've adjusted the default zoom in trackers so that at least 10 rows of students are visible when you first open a class. This is particularly noticeable if you're using a smaller screen resolution.

Improvement to Standardised Grade Boundaries

Improvement

You can now see the calculated percentage of students alongside the raw mark boundaries after choosing distributions with Standardised Grade Boundaries.

5 March, 2026

Expand and collapse subunits

Improvement

Plus (+) and minus (-) controls have been added to subunits on all trackers. This means to enter data into a subunit/assessment, you'll need to expand (+) it first.


February 2026

19 February, 2026

Align Summary Grades with selected Units

New feature

Within the tracker grade boundaries, you now have the option to select one or multiple units' boundaries to use for the Summary Unit, instead of the exam board overall boundaries. This ensures that Unit Grades and Average Unit Grades align. Learn more.

16 February, 2026

Clearer actions in Analysis: Sort and Open tracker

Improvement

Sort and Open Tracker icons now appear when you hover over a subject column in the Marks or Grades Summary.

Sort direction switches with each click. While clicking the Open Tracker icon will take you to the Live Tracker for the year group in a new tab.

Bulk delete students with app access

Improvement

School admins can now bulk delete students who have left the school and are no longer on the MIS, removing their app access and student details from the platform.

Connection error messages improved

Improvement

We have refined the recently introduced banners which appear at the top of the platform when your network connection is disrupted.

Updates to how and when they are triggered mean that they will show less frequently. The colour of the banners has also been updated from red to yellow.

5 February, 2026

Standardised Grade Boundaries are now available

New Feature

School Admins and Leaders of Subject Areas can now define the percentage of students achieving each grade for Customised Assessments, with raw mark boundaries then calculated from current student data.

Quick Filter in Analysis

Improvement

Quick Filters was released in Trackers at the end of 2025 and has now been made available in Analysis. Simply hover over a grade column and select the filter icon to filter students against Minimum Target Grade (MTG).


January 2026

26 January, 2026

UI update: Top bar in Analysis

Improvement

The Analysis area (including Grades Summary, Marks Summary, Subject Analysis, KS4 Grade Analysis, and Learning Characteristics) now includes a top navigation bar to switch between Live Tracking, Forecast and Snapshots. This is consistent with navigation within Trackers.

New connection error messages

Improvement

We've introduced two on-screen error messages that appear as a red banner at the top of your screen so that it is clear when your connection to the platform is lost.

1. The above message appears when the application has lost its internet connection or the connection is unstable.

2. The above message appears when the web socket connection has not been established correctly. It can be caused by a firewall, browser issues, or another issue. In this case, please reach to our support team and we can investigate further.

15 January, 2026

Clearer assessment selection for Combine Assessments

Improvement

When selecting assessments to combine, a tick will display next to each selected assessment to provide clarity.
