One Journey, One Platform: Inclusion that starts at transition

Inclusion doesn’t begin in a classroom; it begins the moment a child is born, and especially when they start their educational journey. That’s where Pupil Pathways steps in, turning handovers into human stories, and first days into confident starts. We help nurseries, childminders, primary and secondary schools with their transitions, those at risk of exclusion, and the teams who support them. Every learner arrives known, understood and ready to belong.

For too long, vital insight has been scattered across paper, email chains and well-intentioned spreadsheets. Families repeat the same details, and school staff spend precious hours chasing forms while children wait.

Pupil Pathways replaces that friction with a simple, secure experience built around the Pupil Passport, a living profile that travels with the learner across all educational phases. It gathers the information that changes outcomes: what helps this learner feel safe; strategies that already work; early indications of SEND; the voice of the child; key documents and agreed next steps. The result is a calmer transition, fewer surprises, and support that starts from day one.

Our platform brings three purpose-built services together to deliver evidence-based impact.

StepIntoSchool captures developmental and contextual insight from nurseries and childminders so Reception teams can plan support, interventions and family touchpoints in advance.

SixIntoSeven gives secondary staff a clear, structured view of every Year 6 learner, friendship considerations, pastoral context, pupil voice, attendance patterns and successful learner strategies, so personal intervention, tutor groups and classroom approaches are shaped with confidence. Pastoral, SENDCO and DSL’s collaborate throughout the transfer process to build communication and trust with the pupil and family.

Foresight takes a proactive approach to supporting learners at risk of suspension, poor attendance, or exclusion. It enables schools and local authority inclusion teams to work together, identifying the most effective interventions so that no learner is left behind. By providing a wide-angle view for local authorities, Foresight highlights early patterns in attendance and emerging risks, ensuring the right support reaches the right child at the right time. All of this happens within a single, connected journey on one platform—with the Pupil Passport at its core.

This isn’t about adding another system. It’s about removing duplication, frustration and delay. With role-based access and a full audit trail, sensitive information is shared appropriately and securely, giving all staff what they specifically need to act on, while families tell their story once and see action quickly. Teachers meet new learners with practical insight, not assumptions. Leaders gain a consistent picture of readiness and improved engagement in their schools. And pupils experience something powerful: a sense of belonging from day one.

Across authorities and trusts, the impact is already visible. Reception classrooms are prepared with the adjustments individual children need. Year 7 teams start the term with fewer timetable changes, accurate information and stronger relationships. Attendance holds up in the crucial early weeks because learners feel seen, heard and belong. Practitioners spend less time firefighting and more time educating and supporting. It’s prevention and inclusion by design, not exception!

If your goal is early help rather than late intervention, Pupil Pathways turns that ambition into action. Start the conversation today with our team.
