For SEND schools
Adaptive maths revision for your SEND learners. Free trials, first cohort now forming.
MindArc is GCSE maths revision built specifically for students with ADHD and other additional needs. We are inviting a small number of SEND schools to trial it with us, free, before we open more widely.
Built for the students standard platforms leave behind.
Every MindArc lesson is structured for fluctuating working memory and fragile confidence:
- A confidence check before the hard work starts. Learners are not pushed into core questions until they are ready. If confidence is low, the lesson responds with shorter, reassuring steps first.
- The Bounce Back system. When a learner struggles, MindArc distinguishes between a confidence wobble and a genuine gap in prerequisite knowledge, and repairs each differently. A student who is missing a foundation from Year 8 is taken back to that exact foundation, not just given an easier version of today's question.
- A review queue capped at four topics. Long lists trigger avoidance. Short, finishable lists build the habit of coming back.
- Topics mapped by prerequisite. Twenty GCSE maths topics, each tagged by skill and connected to the foundations it depends on, so the platform always knows where a gap actually lives.
Minutes, not hours.
We know exactly what we are asking when we ask a SENCO to try something new, so the trial is designed to be light:
- Students work independently on the platform, in school or at home
- No lesson planning, marking or content creation required from staff
- Set-up is handled with us directly, not left to your team
- We do the paperwork heavy lifting: data processing documentation, privacy information for parents, and safeguarding answers come pre-prepared for you
Compliance is not an afterthought here.
MindArc is built for under-16s in UK schools, so UK GDPR and the ICO Children's Code are design requirements, not boxes ticked later.
- Data collection is limited to what the platform needs to teach and report. Nothing more.
- Full data processing documentation is available for your DPO before any student touches the platform.
- Optional parent reporting is opt-in, never default.
- Hosted on UK/EU infrastructure with industry-standard security.
If your DPO has questions we have not answered, we would genuinely like to hear them. It makes the documentation better for every school after you.
Small cohort, real evidence, no cost.
- You request trial information using the form below.
- We talk. A short call to understand your students and answer questions. No commitment.
- Paperwork, pre-prepared. We send the trial agreement, data documentation and parent information letters ready to use.
- Your students start. A small group of GCSE learners uses MindArc as part of their maths revision.
- You see the results. We share progress and engagement evidence with you throughout, and we ask for your honest feedback. That feedback shapes the platform.
Trials are free for participating schools. We are deliberately keeping the first cohort small so every school gets proper attention.
Questions SENCOs ask us
How much paperwork is this going to create for us?
Less than you are expecting. We pre-prepare the data processing documentation for your DPO, the parent information letters, and the trial agreement. Most of what lands on your desk is ready to sign or forward, not write. If your school needs something in a different format, we adapt to you, not the other way round.
What does it cost?
Trials are free for participating schools. There is no payment information collected and no automatic conversion into a paid contract afterwards.
Is this only for students with ADHD?
MindArc's design started with ADHD, because that is where the founder's experience lies, but the things it does (small steps, confidence repair, prerequisite gap-finding, short queues) help a much wider group of SEND learners. Your SENCO judgement on which students would benefit is exactly the kind of input we want from trial schools.
Which exam boards does it cover?
The trial covers 20 core GCSE maths topics that are common across the major boards, mapped by skill and prerequisite. We will share the full topic list during the trial conversation.
What do you need from our students' data?
Only what the platform needs to teach and report: progress, answers and engagement. Full details are in our data processing documentation, available before you commit to anything.
What happens after the trial?
You get the evidence either way. If MindArc worked for your students, we will talk about what comes next, with no obligation. If it did not, telling us why is genuinely valuable and we will say thank you and mean it.
