Questions before you arrange a demo?
-
Yes. SEND Workflow Studio systems are built in Microsoft Excel and are designed for provisions already working within Microsoft 365. Some systems may use Excel desktop features, macros, linked workbooks, Power Query or shared folders, so the setup is checked during implementation.
-
No. SEND Workflow Studio is not a separate cloud platform or online portal. The systems are Excel-based and are designed to sit within the provision’s own Microsoft environment.
-
Learner data remains within the provision’s own systems and Microsoft environment. SEND Workflow Studio does not host a separate pupil database or require learner information to be stored on an external SWS platform.
-
Yes. The Life Skills Assessment and Subject-Specific Assessment systems can be configured around your provision’s own curriculum structure, levels, pathways, success criteria and assessment language.
-
Yes. Generic SWS curriculum frameworks are available for Life Skills, English and Maths. These can be used as a starting point, adapted during setup, or replaced with your provision’s own curriculum content.
-
The systems are built from established SWS templates, but implementation can be adapted around the needs of the setting. Some systems, such as the Annual Review System, usually need minimal variation. Others, such as Life Skills Assessment and Subject-Specific Assessment, can be configured more heavily around curriculum and reporting needs.
-
Implementation usually includes a discovery conversation, system selection, curriculum or framework setup where needed, deployment, staff guidance and follow-up support. The aim is to make sure the system works in practice, not just that the files are installed.
-
Yes. Staff guidance can be included as part of implementation. This is usually practical and workflow-based, helping staff understand what to record, how to navigate the system, and how the information supports assessment, reporting or annual review preparation.cription
-
Yes. SEND Workflow Studio is designed for specialist schools, specialist colleges and wider SEND provisions. The systems are particularly suited to settings where progress may be individual, non-linear and linked to preparation for adulthood, independence, communication, life skills or Entry Level learning.tion
-
Yes. Reporting is a key part of the systems. Depending on the system, reports may include learner summaries, progress views, annual review paperwork, charts, dashboards or printable outputs.ption
-
Pricing depends on the systems required, the size of the provision, the level of setup or adaptation needed, and the support involved. The best starting point is a short conversation so the right option can be discussed.
-
Yes. MathGems can be used as a standalone maths fluency resource with professionally printed booklets and optional Excel-based tracking. It can also be linked into a wider Subject-Specific Assessment System where appropriate.iption
