Secure data sharing between schools to support Year 6 transition
SixIntoSeven is an easy to use, secure web portal for primary and secondary schools to support pupils during Year 6 transition into Year 7.
Using a professional judgement dashboard, primary and secondary schools securely share pupil progress information, in lieu of cancelled KS2 SATs and assessments.
We know this is an important stage for pupils and exceptional circumstances in 2020 and 2021 mean usual procedures don’t apply. SixIntoSeven is a fast, simple way to help schools, teachers and pupils in these challenging times. More about how it works.

What are the timescales?
Following a successful pilot in 2020, the team at ASCL and askEddi are working hard to get SixIntoSeven ready for schools to use for Year 6 transition in 2021.
SixIntoSeven for Year 6 transition works to bring together partnerships, MATs and individual schools to unify the transmission of pupil progress information.
School leaders, transition leads and education leads can register their interest now to be first to hear when we launch.
Get ready for your new Year 7 pupils
SixIntoSeven is back in 2021 for schools to share information during Year 6 transition. Sign up now to be the first to hear when we launch in March.
Simple, secure, cost-effective
Getting started is easy. Secondary schools either pay a one-off fee or as part of their annual Open Data Project Membership. There’s no charge for primary schools.
It’s quick and easy to get started and our support team are on call to help. Read more about how SixIntoSeven works.
SixIntoSeven has been built to comply with GDPR from the start – we have worked with a specialist legal team to achieve this. All schools sign a Data Processing & Sharing Agreement to use the portal, and a participation agreement must be accepted between every connected primary and secondary.

The conversation between primary and secondary is crucial in helping children get the best start in Year 7.
Secondary teaching that picks up from where primary left off instils confidence. SixIntoSeven can be an important part of this conversation.

This year we don’t have the KS2 information that we normally rely on so SixIntoSeven is a real safety net for us. It means we won’t have to start what’s already been a very difficult year for new Year 7 pupils testing them because we already have really useful information on their progress.

SixIntoseven does all of the heavy lifting by matching and organising the data, so schools will be able to focus on providing pupils with the best introduction to secondary school at the start of the new term.
