Built alongside Princes Primary School

“You can tell they care about the outcomes for the children.”

Dave Harrison & Emma McCormick, Princes Primary School · May 2025

SEND practice is joined up.
The software around it should be too.

Voyage brings pupil profiles, EHCP-linked planning, learning records, assessment, forms and team processes into one staff-facing place.

Developed through real school practice

Voyage has been shaped through close work with Princes Primary School. The product views below use fictional pupil data.

More than assessment

One child. One joined-up journey.

Voyage connects the work that surrounds a child, while keeping decisions with the people who know them best.

Planning

Keep destinations, next steps and supporting context together without losing the professional thinking behind them.

  • Keep each pupil's strengths, needs and important information together in a person-centred profile.
  • Connect EHCP outcomes to goals and practical targets, with staff retaining professional judgement.
  • Route work through staff worktrays and approval steps with a recorded history.
  • Pupil profile
  • EHCP outcomes

  • Assess from pre-formal through formal learning using built-in and school-configured frameworks.

  • Coverage views

Moments

The everyday evidence worth keeping

  • Support staff moderation with comments and a clear record of discussion.
  • Bring agreed school forms into Voyage, configured with the school during setup.

The partnership with Princes

Voyage’s approach was shaped through close collaboration with Princes Primary School, a specialist setting in Liverpool. Working with school leaders and classroom staff grounded the product in real planning, assessment and recording workflows.

Developed with Princes

You can tell they care about the outcomes for the children.

From the founder

Built from experience in public-service software

Voyage is led by Tom Higginson, a software developer with experience building mission-critical systems for social care and other public services. That work shaped a simple principle: software should support professional judgement, reduce duplication and reflect how people actually work.

Working with Princes Primary School brought those principles into special education and led to Voyage: a joined-up system centred on the child and the team around them.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

A few of the things schools often ask as they explore whether Voyage could help. Search, browse by category, or tap any question to reveal the answer.

  • What is Voyage for Schools?
    Voyage is a staff-facing SEND planning, assessment and learning-record platform developed with Princes Primary School. It brings pupil profiles, EHCP-linked planning, evidence, assessment, forms and team processes together in one place.
  • Is Voyage designed for special schools?
    Yes. Voyage has been designed and built with a specialist setting. It already supports person-centred profiles, EHCP-linked planning, evidence-based assessment, learning records, configured forms, approvals and staff worktrays.
  • Can mainstream schools use Voyage?
    Potentially. Voyage has been developed around specialist-school practice, but many of its tools may also suit mainstream schools with a strong SEND offer. We’d want to understand your setting before suggesting it is a good fit.
  • How does Voyage support professional judgement?
    Voyage helps staff organise information and connect evidence with planning and assessment. The staff who know the child remain responsible for every judgement and decision.
  • How does Voyage support EHCP outcomes?
    Voyage connects EHCP outcomes to goals and practical targets. Staff set and review those targets using their professional judgement, while learning records and assessment evidence build the wider picture around them.
  • Can Voyage help with annual reviews?
    Voyage does not currently generate a dedicated annual-review pack. It keeps planning, evidence, assessment, forms and decisions together so the information needed for reviews is easier to find.
  • Can schools use their own curriculum frameworks?
    Voyage supports built-in and school-configured frameworks, including the Engagement Model. Configuration requirements are agreed during implementation.
  • Does Voyage support interventions or provision mapping?
    Provision mapping is not part of the current core offer. Voyage focuses on connecting profiles, outcomes, goals, targets, learning records, assessment and school forms.
  • What are learning records and Moments?
    Learning records capture progress as it happens using written observations, photos or video. Voyage uses 'Moments' as a friendly way to describe the meaningful events those records preserve.
  • Can families see learning records?
    Voyage is currently staff-facing and does not include direct family access.
  • How can my school work with Voyage?
    Voyage is introduced through supported school partnerships. Tell us how your school currently handles planning, evidence and assessment, and we’ll discuss whether Voyage is a good fit.
