We have launched our new look Connect

Keeping all your favourite features, we have been working on a new look to make it simpler than ever to get to the insights you need.

KS4 update launching late Autumn

After working with you via focus groups and workshops, we are introducing new pages to our KS4 analysis.

New Subscription Model 2021/22

We have simplified how you purchase Alps so you can focus on what matters. We moved to a new subscription model in February 2021. For existing customers with Connect, the new subscriptions will take effect from the new academic year. So what does the new model mean to you?

What’s included?

  • Connect at KS4, KS5, or both. At KS5, your A level, BTEC, and AS analysis are all included in the one subscription price. Filter reports (such as gender or ethnicity) can still be purchased separately where required.
  • 1, 2, and 3-year subscriptions available, with discounts for multiple year subscriptions.
  • New subscribers to Connect will get a dedicated onboarding program to make getting started as simple as possible.
  • Existing Alps customers get access to our complete support package and Champions Programme. Find out more below.

  • Access unique Alps performance analysis for cohorts, subjects, teaching groups and other key student groups.
  • Measure all qualification progress within one subscription using benchmarks created from the latest DfE data sets .
  • Use a range of interactive cohorts and subject level tools to quickly identify areas for further improvement .
  • Generate bespoke reports on different groups of students .
  • Evaluate the accuracy of assessment and predictions .

  • Set aspirational targets for your students with Alps Minimum Expected Grades created from the latest DfE data sets.
  • Create personalised targets for your students with our What-If tool.
  • Access key contextual information at cohort, subject and class level to facilitate the process of developing curriculum intent.

Your data is only the first step. We have excellent practical resources to help you to embed Alps to make a difference to your student outcomes. The starting point is our Alps Champion handbook – a digital guide with all you need to launch and use Alps.

Introducing Connect 2.0

We know that our schools and colleges love the ease of use and tools within Connect.

However, there are always improvements to make. Following focus groups and feedback, we have spent the past 6 months redesigning the platform for you – keeping all the bits you love – but making it easier to navigate and get to the insights you need.

We believe the right analytical tools have the power to help every student aspire to more. In the spirit of this long-established philosophy, we’d like to introduce Connect 2.0.
