- Tutoring.
- Professional support.
- Transition.
EdiWay brings these experiences closer together around one connected learner journey, while keeping the source, ownership and permissions of each record clear.
- For schools, that means a more organised way to involve families.
- For parents and carers, it means a clearer view of the learner.
- For learners, it means their progress, evidence and voice can stay connected as their education changes.
- A timetable here.
- Homework somewhere else.
- Messages in another app.
- SEND information in another record.
- Home learning stored separately.
- Professional reports sent by email.
- Transition information rebuilt when the learner moves setting.
- EdiWay is designed differently.
- The learner remains the connecting point.
School information, family contributions, learning evidence, professional input and transition records can work together without pretending they all came from the same source.
Connected does not mean merged. It means the people around the learner can work from a clearer shared picture.
Multiple Learners
Move between linked children without mixing their information.
Different Schools
Keep the correct school context attached to each learner.
Different Pathways
One learner may attend school while another is home educated or follows a flexible pathway.
Different Permissions
Access can vary between learners depending on the recorded family relationship.
Different Information
Homework, messages, assessment, SEND support and other records remain attached to the correct learner. A family account should make life simpler. It should not flatten different learners into one shared record.
Timetable and Routine
Understand what is happening next.See relevant information from the learner’s school.
Resources
Find the learning material available to them.
Homework and Tasks
See assigned work.
Evidence
Upload or review appropriate learning evidence.
Feedback
See teacher or family feedback.
Learner Voice
Contribute views, goals and reflections.
Progress
Understand approved information about their learning.
Transition
Participate in planning for the next stage. Access remains age-appropriate and permission-aware. A learner login does not automatically expose confidential safeguarding, medical, family, HR or professional information.
Strengths
What does the learner enjoy or do well?
Aspirations
What matters to them now and in the future?
Observations
What is the family noticing at home?
Support
What approaches appear helpful?
Evidence
What learning or progress has happened outside school?
Context
Has something changed that may help the school understand the learner? Family contributions remain attributable to the family. They do not silently become teacher judgement, professional diagnosis or statutory evidence simply because they are stored in the same platform.

The aim is not to turn the parent portal into the school’s internal system. It is to provide families with the information and actions that help them support the learner.
Learning Plans
Set priorities that reflect the learner and family.
Routines
Create realistic weekly structures.
Tasks
Plan individual learning activities.
Resources
Use suitable educational materials.
Learning Journals
Record what has been explored.
Evidence
Upload work, photographs, notes and other learning evidence.
Observations
Capture family understanding of progress.
Reflection
Review what worked and what needs to change.
Learning may happen through:
- Reading
- Projects
- Worksheets
- Practical activities
- Community experiences
- Conversations
- Online learning
- Tutors
- Everyday life
A home-learning routine is not a school attendance register. The pathway and evidence should remain clear about where and how learning occurred.
- School
- Home
- Remote learning
- Tutors
- Alternative provision
- Community learning
- Specialist support
- Other authorised provision
EdiWay can help keep those parts of the learner’s journey connected without pretending they are identical.
School Activity
Remains school activity.
Home Activity
Keeps its family or learner source.
Provider Evidence
Remains attributable to the provider.
Professional Evidence
Keeps professional authorship.
Shared Evidence
Can support review without losing provenance. This helps everyone understand not just what happened, but where the information came from.
Written Work
Upload appropriate learner work.
Photographs
Capture suitable practical activity.
Projects
Preserve longer-form learning.
Reflections
Allow learners to record what they learned.
Parent Observations
Keep family evidence attributable.
Teacher Evidence
Connect school-created evidence.
Professional Contributions
Include authorised specialist evidence where appropriate.
Feedback
Keep reviewed comments connected. The learner evidence portfolio can provide useful context across learning, assessment, support and transition. Evidence does not automatically prove formal objective attainment or professional conclusions.
Professional Relationships
Record why the professional is involved.
Purpose
Keep the reason for access clear.
Information Scope
Limit what can be seen.
Evidence
Allow appropriate contributions.
Meetings and Actions
Coordinate agreed work.
Review
Revisit what is needed.
Expiry and Revocation
End access when the relationship changes. Professional access does not mean unrestricted access to the learner record.
Strengths
What helps the learner succeed?
Aspirations
What matters to the learner?
Learning Evidence
What shows progress?
Assessment Context
What reviewed information is useful?
Support
What approaches or adjustments have helped?
Family Voice
What has the family contributed?
Learner Voice
What does the learner want the next setting to know?
Professional Contributions
What authorised specialist information is relevant? The transition pack should contain selected information for a defined purpose, not the learner’s unrestricted history.
Learner
Their own views, reflections and evidence.
Parent or Carer
Family observations and contributions.
Teacher
School teaching and assessment information.
SENCO
Authorised SEND information.
Professional
Specialist contributions within the professional relationship.
Provider
Evidence from an external learning setting.
EdiWay AI
A working draft created from permitted information where enabled. An AI-generated draft should never be presented as though it were a teacher, parent or professional judgement. Provenance matters.
Parent or Carer
Access according to the recorded relationship.
Additional Family Member
Receive appropriate access where specifically invited or configured.
Multiple Children
Keep permissions separate for each learner.
School Information
Only show what the school has approved for the family experience.
Sensitive Information
Keep specialist records restricted.Specialist contributions within the professional relationship.
Professional Information
Do not expose confidential contributions simply because the family can access the learner workspace. The deeper permissions and information-sharing model belongs to the dedicated Trust workflow.
Reduce Fragmentation
Bring family interaction closer to the school platform.
Keep Context
Connect communication and evidence to the correct learner.
Support Multiple Pathways
Work with school, home and flexible learning more clearly.
Improve Transition
Prepare useful information for the next setting.
Include Families
Invite meaningful contribution instead of treating families as passive recipients.

1. Establish the Learner
Keep the learner at the centre of the journey.
2. Confirm the Pathway
School, home, hybrid or another supported learning context.
3. Connect the Right People
Family, staff and authorised professionals.
