Education · SEND · Live product
We replaced paper logs with a record schools can rely on.
A live product we build and run: SEMH provision software that schools use every day. Pupils check in without a password, staff log a session in under twenty seconds, and the SENCO keeps a proper record.
The challenge
What needed solving.
Schools already do this work every day. A child arrives in the regulation space, points at a feelings chart, and staff choose a strategy. The record usually ends up on a scrap of paper or in someone’s head.
The product had to work on shared iPads and Chromebooks, for children without accounts, in rooms with patchy Wi-Fi. It also had to meet the data protection expectations of the schools and trusts that use it.
What we built
The product, piece by piece.
Twenty-second session logging
Strategy, setting, minutes out of class and outcome, with a one-line handover to the class teacher.
Patterns and reporting
Repeated check-ins become support plans, costed provision maps and review packs for governors and Ofsted.
Privacy by design
Regional hosting, an audit log that cannot be edited, no risk scores, and a hard split from safeguarding systems.

What it taught us
Lessons we bring to client work.
Design for the worst room in the building
Offline-first and twenty-second interactions came from watching real sessions, not from a specification.
Say what the product is not
Keeping it separate from the safeguarding record made it easier for schools to adopt.
