How Evidence Me Supports SEND Pupils and Specialist Schools

A flexible assessment tool that empowers educators in SEND settings

Teachers in specialist settings face a unique set of challenges: capturing meaningful progress, tailoring learning frameworks, and communicating effectively with families. Evidence Me is a flexible SEND assessment tool designed to meet those needs - saving time while improving the quality of your tracking, reporting and planning.

Whether you're working in a PMLD school or an inclusive mainstream classroom, here are the key ways Evidence Me makes a difference.

We get asked all the time if schools still need to collect evidence of children’s learning. Our view has always been a resounding “Yes, absolutely!”. There is no doubt the introduction of new frameworks and methodologies created a narrative that collecting evidence was no longer needed. This message was received with open arms from early years practitioners who were fed up with the amount of time they were spending collecting evidence and assessment data. As a result many schools simply stopped collecting evidence because they believed that was the message coming from the experts. However, we have spoken to several schools that gave up collecting evidence and are now regretting the fact that they no longer have a collection of the exceptional practice and learners' magical moments; those experiences are lost forever.

We're delighted to announce that Evidence Me has been awarded Highly Commended in the 'App' category for the Teach Primary Awards.

Although we have always been proud of how well Evidence Me supports schools with their observation and assessment needs, it's fantastic to have this recognised by Teach Primary's panel of primary experts.

Each month we will be putting together a handy roundup to show you improvements, updates and brand new releases across Purple Mash, Serial Mash, Python in Pieces, Striver, Dot Com Digital, Evidence Me and Inspection Coach & Improvement Hub.

In this blog we have shared some key benefits of Evidence Me as well as some top tips from one of our current subscribers, Arunside School in Horsham.
