Clear insight into maths attainment and progress

Renaissance Star Maths provides reliable, curriculum‑aligned assessment without adding to teacher workload. By giving schools a consistent view of attainment and progress, it supports accurate review and helps teachers confidently use personalised maths practice to support next steps.

From baseline to progress

Screen your entire class in just 20 minutes to establish clear starting points across key maths domains. Star Maths allows you to identify which children need additional support to reach benchmarks and group them by proficiency levels, generating immediate reports to inform teaching and planning.

When used again at targeted points, Star Maths provides clear progress checkpoints to review attainment over time, meeting monitoring and intervention needs within a single maths assessment tool.

Identify gaps, inform practice

Utilise comprehensive reports to establish attainment levels and identify where pupils are secure, developing or may need further support. The Star Screening report automatically classifies students based on national benchmarks, grouping them by ability to highlight where urgent intervention or advanced challenges are required.

Valid, reliable, aligned

Built on Core Progress™ learning progressions and aligned to the English national curriculum, Star Maths provides a stable, research‑informed measure of how maths understanding typically develops over time. This validated baseline gives teachers confidence that progress reviews are consistent and meaningful across the year.

Reduce workload

Star Maths is quick to administer on laptops or tablets and generates reports instantly, reducing the need for manual marking or data processing. Easily filter the reports by pupil characteristics such as pupil premium, free school meals or EAL to evaluate progress of priority groups.

What schools are saying

We are thrilled with the integration of Freckle and Star Maths. Before using Star Maths, we utilised a different assessment programme but have now solely switched to Star Maths due to its accuracy and online convenience.

Star Maths allows us to instantly check at any time that pupils are on track and we, as a school, are where we need to be. All the crucial questions that I want to see as a Headteacher, such as whether pupils are on track, below or above benchmark, are answered in the Star data.
