A full academic year
Platform access, Wonde onboarding, training and support through the 2026–27 academic year.
A decision, not a lock-in
There is no automatic or required paid continuation after the funded year.
What the year is for
Start with one real pressure. End with evidence your school can use.
Pathfinder is a supported implementation year, not free software left at the school gate. The programme is built to help your team test fit in real work before making a longer-term decision.
- 01
Choose a real school pressure
Begin with the attendance, behaviour, SEND, safeguarding, health or learning work already costing your team time and attention.
- 02
Make implementation part of the work
Use a named champion, Wonde onboarding, staff training and ongoing support to move beyond a polished demonstration.
- 03
Review the evidence before deciding
Use regular review and impact meetings to understand what changed, what still needs work and whether continuation is worthwhile.
Two connected perspectives
Test the platform around each child and across the school
The strongest proof is not another isolated screen. It is whether the context, ownership and review loop hold together when real staff use them.
- 01
Around each child
Test whether staff can see the relevant attendance, behaviour, SEND, safeguarding, health and learning context while specialist records and professional judgement remain authoritative.
- 02
Across the school
Look beyond individual records to the cohort patterns, priorities and ownership questions that determine where school capacity should go next.
- 03
From evidence to review
Follow a practical rhythm from evidence and interpretation to human decision, owned work, communication and review, then judge the outcome in your own context.
