EYFS–KS2 · Early identification & support
Primary Future-Readiness
Aligned to the 2026 review calling on primary schools to spot — early — the children who’ll need extra support to stay in education, employment or training at 16. StudYear does the spotting from the data your school already generates, and turns it straight into action and evidence. It is a strengths-and-needs view to widen help — never a label, and never a prediction any child sees.
Built to be safe by design. Context — Pupil Premium, SEND, EAL, attendance, young-carer status — only unlocks support; it never lowers a child’s score. Every status shows its drivers and is yours to confirm. Access is permissioned and audit-logged. An equity monitor watches for any group being over-represented. No child is ever told a destination prediction.
What we look at (and why, at primary)
At EYFS–KS2 the earliest, most predictive levers carry the most weight — long before “attainment” means much.

EngagementCuriosity, participation and aspiration — the spark that keeps a child in the room.Supporting
Behaviour & regulationSelf-regulation and conduct — support needs, framed positively.Supporting

Every flag comes with a response, not just a label — these are already in your StudYear.
