Noticing sooner. Supporting earlier.
We are building a new part of Lotu to help school staff notice early signs that a learner may need extra support, and to connect that signal to the right next step sooner than a formal referral usually allows. It is still taking shape, and we want schools shaping it with us.
Named for what early support actually needs
Lotu is Basque for connect. A learner is supported best when everyone around them can see the same picture. That is what the five petals stand for.
Petal 1 of 5
Pupils
The centre petal, and the reason for the other four. Every connection Lotu makes is a connection made around a child.
Pupils at the heart, the adults closest to them either side, the wider system furthest out.
Support that starts earlier, without adding to your workload
Notice sooner
Surface early, low confidence signals worth a second look. A nudge to look closer, not a verdict.
Keep the human in charge
SENCOs and teachers stay the decision makers. This supports their judgement, it does not replace it.
Connect to next steps
Point toward the support pathways your school already uses, rather than inventing new ones.
Built responsibly
Designed with data privacy and safeguarding front and centre from day one, not bolted on after.
