UK SEND · In pilot with founding schools · Autumn 2026

Helping every child learn their way.

A SEND-first delivery and evidence platform — for the children who use it daily, and the adults who hold them up. The platform learners use directly. The evidence writes itself.

Why we built this

Twelve years inside a mainstream primary. This is the SEND tool I wish I'd had.

I've supported SEND children in a UK mainstream primary for twelve years — most of that as a TA working one-to-one with children with EHCPs, autism, AAC needs, regulation difficulties, and complex profiles. I now run the school's medical room, where I still see those same children daily and cover SEND classroom support when we're short.

In those twelve years I've used every SEND tool the school has tried. None of them have solved the actual problems of the people doing the work — the TAs reconstructing a child's week from memory, the SEND teacher chasing evidence for end-of-term reports, the families who never quite see how their child is doing day to day.

TryMinoo is the platform I'd want on my desk on Monday morning. Built around what the child does, not just what the adults write afterwards. Built by someone who's been the adult writing the reports for over a decade.

The wedge

Every other SEND tool helps adults write about what the child is doing. TryMinoo helps the child do it — and writes the evidence for you.

The platform is unique in that learners use it directly. Their AAC board, their First-Then plan, their Calm Space, their visual schedule — opened by them, used by them, every day.

Because the children use it, the data flowing into ISPs and APDR cycles comes from real practice — not retrospective adult memory. Ofsted-defensible in a way admin-only tools cannot be.

And then there is the Voice Pack, which is what makes parents cry, in a good way.

Anjali records the word "love" in her own voice on her phone. Eight seconds.

The next morning, her daughter Riya taps the heart symbol on the AAC board at school. Her mother's voice says "love."

The TA pauses. Riya taps it again. Then taps "Mum." Then "I love you."

In one week her AAC use multiplies four times. Her ISP evidence writes itself, automatically, from each tap.

The platform

One platform, five doors in.

Every adult in a child's SEND team gets the view they need — and the data flows between them automatically.

🧒
Learner
AAC board, First-Then, Calm Space, parent loop, voice pack. Daily use generates real evidence — no adult re-keying.
👩‍🏫
Teacher / TA
Session console with caseload, one-tap event recording, in-the-moment strategies. Stays out of the way during the lesson.
📊
SENDCo
Provision maps, APDR, evidence matrix, Ofsted exports, transition packs, voice pack admin. Closes the audit loop.
🩺
Specialist
Caseload, goal tracking, session notes, sign-off workflow. SLT, EP, OT in the same platform as the school team.
👨‍👩‍👧
Family
Voice pack, voice notes, end-of-session "tell your grown-up" messages, home practice. Two-way and asynchronous.
The moat: TryMinoo is the only SEND platform where the child uses it daily. That generates live behavioural data no admin-only competitor can replicate.
Why now

A statutory deadline. A new fund. And a market gap nobody owns.

The 2026 SEND reforms are reshaping how every UK school plans, delivers, and evidences SEND support. There is no second-mover advantage here. Schools are actively shopping.

2029

A forcing event

The 2026 White Paper makes digital ISPs statutory by 2029. Schools have to find a platform.

£1.6bn

Funded explicitly

The Inclusive Mainstream Fund is earmarked for tools like TryMinoo. Comes from grants, not discretionary spend.

Nobody owns the cycle

Existing tools do admin, or evidence, or assessment. Nobody has joined planning to delivery to learner experience.

Pilot phase

We're working with founding schools — not selling yet.

TryMinoo is in pilot through autumn 2026 with a small group of UK primary schools. Founding pilots are free of charge — what we ask in return is honest feedback, a willingness to test in a real classroom, and permission to use anonymised outcomes in our research. Commercial pricing will follow once the platform has been validated by the people doing the work.

What schools get

Built for the people who actually have to defend it.

Compliance, clinical credibility, and audit trails — built in, not bolted on. The kind of work your DPO and your Ofsted lead will thank you for.

UK-built, UK-hosted

All data stays in the UK. Encrypted at rest with school-specific keys. Cyber Essentials Plus maintained year-round.

Voice data never trains AI

Contractually binding, audited annually. The audit certificate is published publicly. Ever.

Clinically advised

Our regulation tools and AAC framework are reviewed by a registered SLT. Not generic gamification.

DPIA & DPA ready

Pre-completed Data Protection Impact Assessment for your DPO. DPA Schedule N covers Voice Pack biometric handling.

Safeguarding playbook included

Every Voice Pack recording is reviewable by SENDCos with full audit log, removal workflow, and consent withdrawal.

You can leave whenever

Annual contracts, no auto-renewal, full data export in standard formats. Trust is built by making it easy to leave.

Two ways to start the conversation.

Apply to join the autumn 2026 founding pilot — the platform is free, the feedback you give shapes what we build next. Or talk to a real person at TryMinoo first. Both work.
