Learning does not always happen in one classroom, with one timetable or through one setting.
EdiWay can connect appropriate learning across school, home, alternative provision and other authorised education arrangements while keeping the source, responsibility and purpose of each record clear.
The learner journey stays connected.
The different education arrangements do not have to become the same thing.
Flexible education can involve different people, locations and responsibilities. EdiWay provides a connected learner record around those changing contexts.
Maintain school-owned teaching, attendance, assessment and support records.
Capture appropriate family-origin learning activity and evidence.
Connect authorised placement and provider information.
Maintain the distinct education-outside-school case and provision context where applicable.
Give parents and carers an appropriate role in the learner journey.
Connect authorised professionals for a defined learner and purpose.
Carry selected reviewed information into the learner’s next stage. Connection should not erase where the information came from.
A learner may receive education through more than one environment or arrangement. Where the school or relevant responsible people have established that arrangement, EdiWay can help connect the educational activity around it.
Maintain an agreed educational structure where supported.
Keep school-led work within the school record.
Allow appropriate learning evidence to remain identifiable as home-origin information.
Provide suitable educational material.
Connect appropriate tasks and learner work.
Bring reviewed information into the wider learner journey.
Keep authorised adjustments or learning strategies available where required.
Consider whether the current arrangement remains appropriate. EdiWay does not decide that a learner should move into a hybrid or flexible arrangement. That decision remains with the people and processes responsible for the learner’s education.
The same learner may have evidence created by different people. EdiWay can keep that information connected while preserving its origin.
Recorded through authorised school workflows.
Created or submitted by the learner.
Provided through the family relationship.
Created by an authorised education provider.
Provided through a defined professional relationship.
Keep the assessor and assessment context clear.
Preserve when information was recorded and what arrangement applied at that time. A family observation should not silently become a school judgement. A provider record should not become school-authored evidence simply because it appears in the same learner journey.
EdiWay's home-education foundations support learner profiles, parent-managed access, education plans, learning journals, portfolio evidence, progress tracking and educational resources. For suitable flexible pathways, those same principles can support learning outside the classroom.
Record appropriate information about how learning is organised.
Capture relevant activity over time.
Keep examples of learning together.
Use appropriate educational material.
Maintain reviewed evidence rather than relying only on a timetable.
Allow parents and carers to contribute directly.
Keep the learner’s experience part of the journey. Home-origin learning remains distinguishable from school attendance and school-authored assessment.
Where school and home both contribute to a learner's education, each may need different information.
See appropriate school responsibilities and authorised family evidence.
Access relevant learner information and contribute where enabled.
See appropriate tasks, resources and progress information.
Access strategies relevant to their role.
Connect authorised support planning where necessary.
Participate only through a defined purpose and permission. The platform can help people work from a connected picture without assuming they all have the same authority or access.
Flexible learning becomes easier when educational material and learner activity remain connected.
Use appropriate resources from the EdiWay library.
Set suitable learner activity.
Make authorised resources available outside school.
Return appropriate work to the learner record.
Keep feedback connected to the activity.
Preserve wider learning where appropriate.
Build selected evidence over time.
Use relevant evidence within wider progress conversations.
Learning completed outside an ordinary classroom may still provide useful evidence. That does not mean every activity should automatically become a school assessment.
Keep formal school judgement within the academic assessment workflow.
Use appropriate learner work.
Maintain family-origin evidence with its source.
Preserve the relevant provider context.
Include suitable learner voice.
Bring appropriate evidence together for human consideration.
Make missing or incomparable information visible.
Keep formal academic interpretation with authorised staff.
Flexible arrangements may sometimes sit alongside SEND support. EdiWay can connect appropriate learner information without treating flexibility itself as evidence of SEND.
Keep approved classroom-useful strategies available.
Record agreed educational adjustments.
InterventionsConnect authorised support.
Maintain structured support separately.
Provide relevant information to the people who need it.
Understand what helps the learner participate.
Include appropriate parent and carer knowledge.
Keep changes to the pathway human-led. A flexible pathway does not automatically establish SEND status, statutory entitlement or the need for an EHC plan.
Where a learner receives education through authorised alternative provision, EdiWay can maintain relevant placement context alongside the learner's wider record.
Record the relevant arrangement.
Identify the provider involved.
Maintain appropriate placement attendance information.
Record suitable reviewed educational outcomes.
Connect authorised provider information.
Keep placement review activity visible.
Include parents and carers where appropriate.
Support planning for the learner’s next step where required. Detailed provider and placement management belongs to the dedicated Alternative Provision workflow.
EOTAS requires its own clear context. EdiWay can support school-held or authorised EOTAS information around areas such as:
Maintain the learner-specific case context.
Record relevant education arrangements.
Maintain suitable provider information.
Organise relevant tuition arrangements.
Track participation within the EOTAS context.
Record appropriate reviewed progress.
Maintain relevant provision-cost context where enabled.
Include parents and carers appropriately.
Connect authorised contributors.
Support a planned return or change of pathway where appropriate. EOTAS attendance should not simply be treated as an ordinary school register mark. EdiWay does not determine whether a learner is eligible for EOTAS or make the statutory decision that EOTAS should be provided.
Flexible arrangements may change. EdiWay can help keep reviewed information connected.
Make the present pathway clear.
Consider what has been learned from the current arrangement.
Understand the learner’s experience.
Include appropriate parent and carer context.
Identify strategies that should continue.
Make transition responsibilities clear.
Select suitable information for continuity.
Preserve earlier arrangements without presenting them as current. Changing the pathway should not mean rebuilding the learner story from the beginning.
Flexible education often requires closer communication with parents and carers. Where enabled, families can contribute through appropriate workflows.
Share suitable home-origin evidence.
Contribute to agreed planning.
Provide observations and context.
Access approved learning material.
Keep discussions connected to the learner.
Participate in appropriate pathway review.
Share strategies that work outside school.
Contribute to planning for what happens next. Family participation does not automatically give parents and carers edit rights over school-authored records.
Some flexible pathways involve professionals outside the immediate school and family. EdiWay can support defined learner relationships for authorised professionals where enabled.
Keep the relationship learner-specific.
Identify who the professional represents.
Define why access or contribution is required.
Limit information to what is appropriate.
Keep professional evidence connected to its author.
Reconsider access when the work changes.Keep placement review activity visible.
End access when the relationship no longer requires it.
Allow ongoing access to be removed where appropriate. Professional collaboration should not create unrestricted access to the learner’s complete school record.
When a learner changes setting or pathway, selected reviewed information may need to move with them. EdiWay's learner-continuity approach can support:
Provide an appropriate overview.
Preserve what helps the learner succeed.
Carry forward suitable reviewed information.
Include relevant progress context.
Keep the learner’s priorities visible.
Include appropriate family contribution.
Preserve relevant authorised information.
Define who the information is prepared for.
Make the reason for sharing clear.
Control what the recipient is allowed to see. A transition pack is a governed snapshot for a defined transition. It is not unrestricted lifetime access to the learner record.
Attendance and participation can mean different things across education contexts.
Belongs to the school’s authorised registration workflow.
Relates to the relevant placement or provider activity.
Remains connected to the EOTAS provision context.
Should not be converted automatically into school attendance marks.
May provide useful educational context without becoming statutory attendance data.Keep professional evidence connected to its author.
Allow authorised people to understand the evidence in the correct context. EdiWay should preserve these distinctions rather than creating one misleading attendance percentage across different arrangements.
Flexible education arrangements should remain reviewable. Authorised people may consider:
What does the learner say is working or difficult?
What education has actually taken place?
What does the relevant evidence show?
Are agreed strategies and provision being delivered?
What are parents and carers observing?
What information has been supplied by relevant providers?
What do authorised professionals contribute?
Should the current educational arrangement continue, change or move towards transition? EdiWay organises the evidence around the review. It does not make the final placement or statutory decision.
Flexible pathways can increase the number of people involved in a learner's education. That makes permission boundaries more important, not less.
Access information required for their educational role.
Access and contribute through their authorised family relationship.
Use age-appropriate learning and participation workflows.
Receive only information required for the agreed provision.
Contribute within a defined purpose and scope.
Should only receive access through a specifically enabled and governed relationship.
Where enabled, EdiWay AI may assist authorised users using information they already have permission to access.
Organise selected school, family or provider information.
Prepare a working overview for pathway discussions.
Help present approved information more clearly.
Draft suitable updates for human review.
Help organise selected continuity information.
Highlight gaps requiring human consideration. Every AI output remains a draft.
Record the authorised educational context.
Identify who is responsible for each part of the learner’s education.
Use appropriate resources, assignments and education plans.
Preserve school, learner, family, provider and professional evidence with its source.
Consider relevant evidence without collapsing different settings into one measure.
Connect appropriate SEND, wellbeing or other support.
Keep parents and carers part of appropriate planning and review.
Allow authorised people to consider whether the arrangement remains suitable.
Prepare reintegration, provider change or transition where appropriate.
Carry forward selected reviewed evidence.
Hybrid learning describes education taking place across more than one context, such as school and home or school and another authorised setting.
EdiWay does not treat “hybrid” as a single statutory status.
Yes.
School and home learning information can remain connected to the same learner while preserving who created the evidence and where it came from.
Family-origin evidence can be contributed through appropriate workflows where enabled.
No.
Home-origin evidence can inform appropriate review, but formal school assessment remains a separate authorised judgement.
Homework and assignment workflows can make suitable learning material available outside the classroom.
Yes.
Approved support profiles, strategies, provision and relevant evidence can remain connected where authorised.
Flexible education itself does not establish SEND.
Alternative provision records, placements, attendance, outcomes and reintegration-related workflows are represented within the platform scope.
EdiWay includes EOTAS-oriented case, provision, attendance, progress, family and professional workflow capabilities.
Some external workspaces and collaboration functions remain subject to controlled rollout and runtime assurance.
No.
EdiWay does not determine EOTAS eligibility or make statutory education decisions.
No.
EOTAS participation should remain connected to its own provision context rather than being silently treated as ordinary school registration.
Reintegration planning is represented within the EOTAS and alternative-provision capability set.
The decision and appropriate plan remain human-led.
Where enabled, access should be restricted to the named learner, defined purpose, authorised information scope and appropriate time period.
Local-authority collaboration should only be presented where a specific governed workflow has been enabled.
The website should not imply a universal live local-authority integration.
Selected reviewed evidence can contribute to governed transition and learner-continuity workflows.
This should remain recipient-, purpose- and permission-aware.
No.
EdiWay helps organise learning, evidence and review.
Educational, legal and statutory decisions remain with the people and bodies responsible for them.
AI may help authorised users organise evidence or draft review material where enabled.
It does not decide the learner’s education arrangement.
Support family-led education plans, learning journals, portfolios, resources and progress evidence.
Give families and learners an appropriate role in the connected journey.
Manage the distinct EOTAS case, provision, progress and collaboration context.
Keep placements, providers, participation and reviews connected.
Move learning between settings while preserving learner work and feedback.
Carry reviewed information into the learner’s next setting or pathway.
EdiWay is undergoing active development and live testing.
Home-education profiles, education plans, learning journals, portfolio evidence, progress tracking and resource foundations are represented in the current platform scope. EOTAS capabilities include learner cases, provision and provider records, participation, progress review, reintegration, family involvement and professional collaboration.
Some cross-setting collaboration, provider workspaces, local-authority access, transition delivery and advanced permission workflows may require additional configuration, runtime assurance or controlled rollout.
EdiWay should therefore be positioned as connecting flexible learner journeys while preserving the boundaries between school, home, alternative provision and EOTAS.
