Software by
practitioners,
for practitioners.
Per-institution pricing. Every feature unlocked from day one. Your data out the door whenever you want it. We’re building the school software we wish existed when we worked in schools.
The rules
What we wrote down before we wrote any code.
One price. Per institution.
No per-user fees, no per-pupil counter ticking up. Schools and trusts buy a seat at the table, not a meter on the wall.
Every feature, every tier.
There are no "Pro", "Enterprise" or "Analytics" tiers. The smallest school gets the same product as the largest trust — only the unit price ladders.
Your data, out the door.
A one-click full-school ZIP. Eleven CSVs. Subject Access Requests handled the same way. If you leave, you leave whole.
A public roadmap.
What we’ve shipped, what we’re building, and what we’ve parked — all published, all updated weekly. Open to comments from any signed-in user.
Built with the people who use it.
New work ships behind a flag and is shaped by the practitioners and industry experts we work with — SENCOs, heads, trust SEND leads. We listen, we change things, then it goes wide.
Modern, by design.
Mobile-first surfaces where the audience is mobile. Keyboard-first where the user lives in the product all day. No 2014 SaaS chrome. No four sidebars.
The way most school software is sold has stopped making sense.
None of this is a swipe at any one vendor. It’s the model schools have been asked to accept. We’re building the opposite, on purpose.
Three products
One operating model. Three places we’re going.
Wellbeing came first because that’s where Sarah has spent the last twenty years. Nest and Flight follow the same principles, designed with the people who’ll use them.
Phoenix Ember
Assessments, interventions, alerts, parent portal. The wellbeing layer of the SEND day — and the first product we’ve put on schools’ desks under PECTECH.
Phoenix Nest
A management information system reimagined for the way schools actually work — built for primary, secondary and all-through settings alike.
Phoenix Flight
A guidance product for the moment a young person leaves school. Built with FE colleges and careers leads.
Made operational
The principles are easy to write down. These are the habits we’ve built to keep them.
Built with practitioners
Shaped by practitioners and industry experts — the SENCOs, heads and trust SEND leads we work alongside as we build.
Public roadmap
Shipped · Building · Considering · Parked. Updated weekly. Open to comments from any logged-in user.
Per-school theming
Your logo, your colour, on every screen and every PDF. Honoured everywhere — not just the cover page.
Exit ramps
A full-school ZIP, anytime. CSV exports per pupil, cohort or filter. Subject Access Requests in one click.
Honest in-product
Beta features carry a beta stamp. "Design preview" labels stay on until the feature is real.
UK hosting
AWS eu-west-2 (London). Data never leaves the UK. Audit log per user, immutable.
Who is behind this
One SEND advisor. Two decades in the classroom. One opinionated build.
Twenty years in classrooms. A decade advising government on SEND. Three published books on pupil wellbeing. Phoenix Education Consultancy is hers — books, training, advisory, and now the software practice you’re reading about.
Sarah works with a small team of engineers, designers and practitioners. We’re deliberately small. We answer the phone.
Where we are. What’s next. Updated every Friday.
Anything parked is the result of a real conversation. We’ll tell you why if you ask.
Our pledgeWe will keep our pricing on the website. We will keep every feature unlocked. We will let you take your data with you. We will publish what we’re building and what we’ve parked. We will be honest about what we don’t do. We will ship from a school calendar, not a fiscal one. We will answer the phone.
