How do I get started?

• Once you have signed up to LanguageScreen, upload a spreadsheet of pupil names for each class you will be assessing. Our system is safe, GDPR compliant, and meets Local Authority standards.
• Should your schools wish to make parents aware of the screening program, please use our proforma letter to parents. Please do not edit our proforma to an opt-in basis as this will change the legal basis for using our service.
• OxEd will generate a QR code for each pupil. Print off QR codes from our website – one per pupil. You scan these to start an assessment.
• Download LanguageScreen from Apple AppStore or Google PlayStore onto a tablet or smartphone. We recommend an 8-inch tablet or larger.
• Use the Practice QR Code and User Guide to learn all about how to use the App. Our apps are intuitive and easy to use.
• You’re ready to begin an assessment.

How do I conduct an assessment?

• Find a quiet space to complete your one-to-one assessments.
• Launch the app on your tablet or smartphone.
• For each child, use their QR code to launch their assessment.
• Follow the audio and visual instructions in the app to take the child through the assessment.
• The assessments only take 10 minutes to complete per child. They are colourful and fun for the children.
• Sign in to oxedandassessment.com to view the results. Pupils are shown in ranked order with recommendations for who needs extra support.
• Use an accredited intervention such as the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI)

How do I assess a child’s progress?

• After completing your chosen intervention, such as the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI), repeat the assessment.
• For each child, use their QR code to launch their assessment.
• After the assessment, the report will show previous and new results for comparison.
• Repeat each year, if appropriate, to provide ongoing evaluations of children’s learning needs.
