Help every teacher
deliver every EHCP.
Lief turns statutory outcomes into practical classroom actions, helping staff plan support, record observations in seconds and build evidence naturally as they teach.
Evidencing EHCP progress
is hard for every school.
Whatever a school does today, the same problem shows up. Some keep detailed trackers. Many revisit the plan at the end of its term to ask whether targets were broadly met. Most sit somewhere in between.
What they share is this. The record is occasional, and there is rarely time to look closely at every child.
The progress is happening. It just is not being seen, or shown.
Occasional and partial
- Evidence is gathered in bursts, often near review time
- There is time to look closely at some children, not all
- The full picture is pieced together by hand
- "Good or outstanding progress?" is hard to answer with proof
Continuous and complete
- Evidence builds a little every day, from normal activity
- Every child is tracked, continuously
- Gaps and focus areas surface on their own
- Progress against every outcome, ready to show
Built on the
statutory spine.
Lief follows the structure every EHCP already uses, so nothing has to be reinvented. The four areas of need hold each child's outcomes, and every outcome breaks into small, observable steps.
Communication & Interaction
Speech, language, and social communication targets, evidenced as they show up across the day.
Cognition & Learning
Small steps toward independence in learning, captured in the lessons where they happen.
Social, Emotional & Mental Health
Regulation, relationships, and wellbeing, recorded as progress, supported attempt, or barrier.
Sensory & Physical
Physical, sensory, and access needs, tracked against the outcomes that matter for each pupil.
Evidence without
leaving the lesson.
Pick a pupil, tap the small step, and describe what you saw. Tag the subject, mark it as progress, a supported attempt, or a barrier, and carry on. The steps needing evidence rise to the top.
No forms and no end-of-day catch-up. The one, two, three flow is easy to pick up on day one.
A continuous record builds for every child, from everyday activity. A barrier explains why progress has stalled, rather than leaving a blank.
Build targets into
every lesson.
Plan opens the active targets for a class, grouped by pupil or by area of need. A teacher sees what each child is working on, and ticks it off the moment it happens. Print a tick sheet for lessons away from a screen.
Targets are visible while planning, so they get woven into lessons rather than revisited afterwards. Tick online, or on paper.
Clear evidence that EHCP targets are taught across the curriculum, exactly what inspectors look for. Stale targets are flagged before they slip.
It will give the teachers so much more insight, and enable them to build targets into lessons with ease.SENCO, partner school · demo preview
Every child reviewed,
not just a sample.
Overview is the whole-school lens. Coverage by area and subject, filtered by year, class, gender, SEND, or Pupil Premium. Children with no recent evidence surface straight away, and governance reporting answers the question directly.
The whole cohort in view, not the handful there is time to check. Progress across all four areas of need, tracked over time, in one place.
Answer it plainly. How many children are making good or outstanding progress against their EHCP targets, with a printable sheet to back it.
It pulls all the information and tracking together in one place… it is exactly what I need as a SENCo.SENCO, partner school · demo preview
The annual review,
already written.
Every observation gathers into a per-pupil pack, outcome by outcome, with a progress summary written from the evidence itself. Export a one-page snapshot, or the full pack as a PDF.
Hours of report writing replaced by evidence that is already there, drawn from the moments they logged through the term.
A consistent, exportable record for annual reviews, parents, and transitions. Met outcomes archive, new aspirational ones are set, and the year's progress is counted.
The small things
that make it easy.
A lot of care has gone into making this quick to use and easy to read. The detail is where adoption lives.
One, two, three
Pick a pupil, pick the small step, describe what you saw. Easy to pick up on day one, with no training.
Tagged by subject
Tag each observation to a subject, and see a target met across the whole curriculum, not just one lesson.
A photo says more
Attach a photo in a tap. A piece of work, a moment of focus. Evidence words alone cannot always carry.
Three clear signals
Progress, supported attempt, or barrier. Colour-coded everywhere, so data reads at a glance. Even a barrier is useful, it explains why.
Less work to capture.
More to show.
The same daily activity serves two people at once. The teacher who logs it, and the leader who has to evidence it.
Recognition that fits the day
- Seconds to log, with no admin pile-up
- Easy enough to use confidently from day one
- Targets visible while planning lessons
- Quick tick online, or on a printed sheet
- Far less time spent writing reports
Evidence that stands up
- A continuous record for every child, not a sample
- Coverage and inclusion gaps surfaced automatically
- Progress across all four areas of need, over time
- Governance-ready answers on good and outstanding progress
- Proof that EHCP targets are taught across the curriculum
This would level up our practice as a school, and allow my reporting as a SENCo to go to the next level.SENCO, partner school
Get a feel for
the real thing.
Most of what you have seen is built and ready to use this academic year. The demo lets you interact with the interface and get a feel for it, before bringing it to your own pupils.
If you are a SENCO, headteacher, or pastoral lead exploring how to evidence EHCP progress, this is the fastest way to see whether Lief fits your school.
Built alongside schools, and evolving through real use.
