The wellbeing platform built by
someone who’s done the job.
Track. Support. Evidence. Phoenix Ember replaces the spreadsheets, sticky notes and Word docs that hold your SEND work together — with one platform every SENCO, teacher and trust leader can actually use.
Sound familiar?
We pulled this list from the SENCOs we spoke to before designing the product. Every single point came up more than once.
Everything lives in different places
Exercise books, spreadsheets, CPOMS, handwritten notes. You know a child is struggling, but pulling together the full picture takes an hour you don’t have.
You only find out when it’s already a crisis
Without data in one place, patterns get missed. A gradual decline across two terms goes unnoticed — until it becomes a safeguarding referral.
Ofsted and the SEND White Paper want evidence
Schools are expected to demonstrate a clear, documented approach to wellbeing. Doing that manually — with the tools most schools have — is brutal.
Reports take forever
An ISP, EHCP evidence pack or handover document shouldn’t take a full afternoon. But it does, because the data sits in five different systems.
Trust leaders can’t see across schools
If you’re responsible for wellbeing across a trust, you’re relying on each school to send you a spreadsheet. Good luck benchmarking that.
Every part of the SEND day, designed by someone who lived it.
Two dashboards. Zero guesswork.
Today’s queue for SENCOs. Term-on-term trends for senior leaders. Same data, different lens — role-gated automatically.
Eight domains. Plus your own.
The full wellbeing framework — 40 indicators, 200 scoring anchors — and SENCOs can add custom domains and indicators alongside it.
28 evidence-based. Build your own bank.
Surface, intermediate and deep — from Calm Corner to DDP referrals. Log sessions. Compare before/after scores.
Professional PDFs in one click.
ISP, EHCP evidence pack, handover, cohort report. Your school’s logo and colours on every page.
Catch it early. Record everything.
Alerts when scores drop. Structured concern flagging routed to the right adult. An immutable trail of every action.
A read-only window. In plain English.
“Needs support · Developing · On track” — never raw scores. Mobile-first. Separate session, fully isolated.
The view that saves a Tuesday morning.
