Specialist educational assessment and SEND profiling for Kent schools — precise, independent, delivered in weeks.
Schools across Kent are spending significant resource on SEND intervention. In many cases, those interventions are working hard but not working smart — because the specific barrier preventing a child from making progress hasn’t been precisely identified.
A child with working memory difficulties and a child with a decoding deficit can sit in the same literacy group and fail to progress for entirely different reasons. Without knowing which barrier is which, even well-funded provision misses its mark.
That’s the problem Education with Lauren was built to solve.
Most schools I work with come to me in one of these positions. If any of these sound familiar, a conversation costs nothing.
LA panels require specific, assessed evidence — not classroom observations alone. EWL reports are written to the standard and language that local authority panels expect, identifying indicators against established frameworks and providing the quality of evidence that moves applications forward.
Private EP assessments cost £600–£900 per pupil. In the meantime, a child’s needs are compounding. EWL assessments provide meaningful, specialist-level insight — delivered in weeks, not months — that allows schools to act now rather than wait.
Inspectors look for whether schools can articulate the specific barriers each pupil faces and demonstrate that provision directly addresses them. Broad intervention records are no longer sufficient. EWL reports give schools a clear, documented evidence trail that demonstrates genuine responsiveness to individual need.
SEND tribunal case volumes are rising. Parents are better informed of their rights than ever. Schools that cannot produce detailed, contemporaneous evidence of how they identified need and what they did about it are in a vulnerable position. EWL reports provide exactly the kind of professional, independently produced documentation that protects schools and rebuilds trust with families.
A complete assessment and profiling service for up to four identified pupils. Everything your school needs to understand what’s blocking progress and what to do about it.
At £325 per pupil, this represents a fraction of the cost of a private EP assessment — with findings delivered significantly faster.
This service can typically be funded through existing budgets. Because the purpose of the assessment is to evidence need, improve provision and strengthen outcomes, the expenditure aligns directly with what these budgets exist to fund.
Not sure which budget applies? That’s a common question — raise it in your consultation and Lauren can advise.
A qualified specialist educator with 16 years of experience across mainstream schools, Kent County Council provisions, private specialist settings and multidisciplinary SEND services. Not an agency. Not a generalist. A practitioner who has worked inside the system and knows exactly how it operates.
Reports are written to the standard and language that local authority panels, Ofsted inspectors and SEND tribunals expect.
No obligation. Lauren will discuss whether this service is the right fit for your school and which pupils might benefit most.
