Explain, don't score
A number isn't an understanding.
What a report should actually do
Explain the child to the adults around them, in words a teacher can use on Monday.
How we work
Evidence, consent, and no promised outcomes
A report full of percentile scores and no explanation helps nobody. The useful part is the account of how this particular child learns, what gets in the way, and what the adults around them can do differently — written so a teacher and a parent can both act on it.
That means recommendations have to be achievable in a real classroom with thirty children in it. Advice that assumes one-to-one support that doesn't exist reads well and changes nothing.
It also means being honest about what an assessment can't deliver. Families under pressure are sometimes offered confident predictions about plans, placements and funding. Those decisions sit with local authorities and tribunals, and promising them would be both wrong and unkind.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Consent and involvement
Children are told what's happening too.
No promised outcomes
Placement and funding aren't ours to decide.
