The START Portal brings your pupils, teams, programme materials and progress into one place. You can prepare lessons, decide when pupils see each loop and follow the work teams submit.

Where to find things

Use Home for an overview, Pupils and Teams to manage your class, and Materials to prepare and release content. Open a team to view its portfolio and submitted evidence.
