PLATFORM · LEARNER PLANS

Plan it. Track it. Cost it. Prove it.

The PAGS Learner Plan turns assessments into structured support: targets, objectives, provisions, and a review area, with staff hours, costs, and impact tracking as optional extras you switch on if you need them. It works as an IEP, an ISP, or a Learner Plan, whatever your school or country calls it. In the UK, the same plan is built to support EHCP provision mapping and the EHCP application itself, and to satisfy the statutory Individual Support Plans introduced by the 2026 SEND reforms and Ofsted's evidence expectations.

One plan, every detail of support.

Most schools run SEND support across five places. Spreadsheets for provision. Word documents for plans. A printed binder for EHCP, IEP, or ISP evidence. An email thread for parents. A separate finance sheet for cost. The PAGS Learner Plan replaces all of it with one structured, evidence-rich record per learner — costed if you want it to be.

What goes in a Learner Plan.

A Learner Plan is structured. Every item belongs to a category, and every category feeds the others.

Targets

Developmental, academic, and custom targets, drawn from PAGS assessments or added by the school. Each target has a status, dates, completion percentage, and notes.

Provisions & interventions

Add provisions, resources, and interventions from the school-wide library, or create custom items for therapy programmes, external agency support, and EHCP actions.

Staff hours & rates

Record which staff member delivers each intervention, how many hours, and at what rate. PAGS calculates the staffing cost automatically.

Costs & budget

Budgeting is optional. Turn it on and set a plan-level budget: PAGS shows total spend, remaining budget, and a category breakdown. Especially useful for notional SEND, High Needs, EHCP, and Pupil Premium funding in the UK.

Impact scores

Score the effectiveness of every item. Combined across the school, this builds the most-effective and least-effective intervention picture leaders need.

Two views

Simplified view for priority lists, EHCP outcome planning, and clean printed reports. Detailed view for provision mapping, cost tracking, staff allocation, and impact monitoring.

01

Plan and prioritise.

Schools use Learner Plans to organise targets in a clear order of priority. Rather than focusing only on the current target, SENCOs can build short, medium, and long-term pathways for each learner.

Every target carries a status, start and end dates, a completion percentage, notes, and an impact score. That turns the plan into a live progress-tracking tool rather than a static document. The same record that captures the priority list also generates the running progress evidence, so the audit trail builds itself as you work.

For staff who deliver the support, every item carries the practical detail too: who is delivering it, how often, for how many hours, and at what cost. No separate spreadsheet. No second copy of the data.

02

Evidence EHCPs and ISPs.

Many schools create a Learner Plan for each EHCP outcome, IEP goal, or ISP objective — whatever the local framework calls it. Targets, interventions, provisions, evidence of support, and progression all sit under the outcome they relate to. That creates a clear pathway showing how the school intends to achieve each outcome, and a structured record of what has actually happened.

The same architecture satisfies the statutory Individual Support Plan duties introduced by the 2026 SEND reforms. What support has been provided. What interventions were used. What impact those interventions had. What resources were allocated. Why further support may be required. The white paper requires schools to capture all of this in a digital plan, reviewed at least annually. PAGS already does it.

“We will require all schools and other educational settings to create digital Individual Support Plans for any child or young person with identified SEND.”Every Child Achieving and Thriving, DfE, February 2026

When the time comes to apply for an EHCP, the costed, evidenced plan exports cleanly. Local Authorities increasingly require schools to demonstrate not only what was provided, but what it cost, who delivered it, and what impact it had. PAGS Learner Plans produce exactly that.

03

Map provision and funding.

At the school level, Learner Plans aggregate into the Provision Mapping Dashboard. Leaders see every provision in use, how many learners receive it, how many staff hours it consumes, what it costs per learner, and what its average impact score is. The most-effective and least-effective interventions surface automatically.

This is the evidence base Local Authorities now expect under the new Inclusive Mainstream Fund accountability framework. Not just what was spent, but where, on whom, by whom, and to what end. The same dashboard supports Inclusion Strategy publication, governor questioning, and Ofsted scrutiny.

For Multi-Academy Trusts, this aggregates again at the trust level. Provision spend, staffing allocation, and impact compare across schools, so trust leaders can see where best practice lives and where investment is needed.

Every item, fully tracked.

Each target, provision, intervention, and custom item inside a Learner Plan carries the fields below. The plan becomes the record.

Field
Purpose
Status
Not Started, Active, Complete, and other custom states.
Completion %
Progress towards achievement, tracked alongside professional judgement.
Start & end dates
Planned start, planned end, and a clear timeline for review.
Notes
Context, justification, and progression notes from staff and parents.
Impact score
Effectiveness rating per item. Aggregated to show what is working, school-wide.
Sessions delivered
Number of intervention sessions, used for provision mapping and EHCP evidence.
Staff hours
Who delivered it, for how long, at what rate. Staffing cost is calculated automatically.
Additional costs
Resources, equipment, external services, or other purchases attached to the item.

Built for every role that touches SEND.

Role
What Learner Plans give them
SENCOs
Structured plans per learner. Live progress tracking. EHCP and ISP evidence built up automatically. Less administrative load, more time for strategic and coaching work.
Teachers & TAs
Clear targets per learner. Provisions and interventions with delivery detail. Progress notes recorded against the right item with no duplicate data entry.
Headteachers
Provision spend across the school. Staffing allocation per learner and per intervention. Impact data ready for governors, inspectors, and the published Inclusion Strategy.
Finance teams
Every pound tracked to a learner, an intervention, and an outcome. Budgets at plan and school level. Justification for SEND, High Needs, EHCP, and Pupil Premium spend.
MAT leaders
Trust-level rollup of provision, cost, staffing, and impact across every school. Cross-school benchmarking and shared best practice. RISE-ready oversight.
Ofsted & Local Authorities
Live evidence of the graduated response. Timestamped audit trail. Demonstrable impact per provision. Funding accountability without reconstruction work.

Already aligned with the white paper.

Every Child Achieving and Thriving introduces statutory digital Individual Support Plans, mandatory provision accountability, and Ofsted scrutiny of SEND effectiveness. PAGS Learner Plans satisfy every one of those duties. See how the seven requirements map.

See it on your own data.

Bring a learner record, a current EHCP, IEP, or ISP, or just a question about how your school evidences provision. We will walk through how a Learner Plan changes the workflow.

Learner Plans and the Provision Mapping Dashboard are live, production features of the PAGS platform. The page reflects current product behaviour at the time of writing. Last reviewed: June 2026.
