Bloom is an inclusion infrastructure platform that schools use to deliver, support and track learning, wellbeing and engagement beyond the classroom.

If executed well, this could significantly reduce workload while providing meaningful insight at school and even policy level.

Bloom gives schools and trusts the infrastructure to deliver learning, maintain connection and evidence provision whenever pupils cannot be in the classroom.
Bloom provides the infrastructure to support pupils who may be:
• accessing internal alternative provision or inclusion bases
• learning in nurture spaces or small group settings
• attending school part-time as part of a phased return or reintegration plan
• temporarily unable to participate in classroom lessons due to SEND, EBSA, medical needs or behavioural support plans
For these pupils, learning can easily become fragmented or invisible.
Bloom ensures schools can deliver structured learning, track engagement and evidence provision, even when pupils are not physically in the classroom.
Learning on Bloom is delivered by the existing professionals already supporting the child — including teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants and pastoral teams within the school or trust.
Wherever possible, teaching remains aligned to the school’s own curriculum, timetable and classroom learning, maintaining continuity with peers and supporting reintegration.
Schools can also draw on Gaia Learning curriculum and structured learning pathways where additional support, flexibility or engagement is required.
Supporting Schools to Deliver National Priorities
Schools are being asked to do more than ever — strengthen inclusion, reduce persistent absence, evidence impact, and keep more children successfully learning within mainstream education. Bloom is digital infrastructure that helps schools meet evolving expectations around inclusion, attendance and accountability — while keeping children connected to their school community.
Attendance & Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
Reducing persistent absence requires flexible models that maintain connection rather than escalate exclusion.
Bloom supports schools to:
Instead of a break in education, schools can offer a structured, supported bridge.
Inclusion Bases & In-School Support
As more mainstream schools develop inclusion bases and internal alternative provision, leaders face a practical challenge:
How do you ensure learning remains aligned, visible and accountable across multiple settings?
Bloom enables:
Children remain on roll.
Learning remains connected.
Impact remains measurable.
SEND & Accountability
Schools are under increasing scrutiny to evidence how SEND funding translates into outcomes.
Bloom provides:
Not just provision — but proof of impact.
Alternative Provision & On-Roll Retention
With growing pressure to reduce unnecessary placement in external AP, schools need scalable internal solutions.
Bloom enables:
Value for Money & Sustainable Practice
New funding streams must demonstrate measurable impact.
Bloom is:
It strengthens what schools already do — without removing ownership or creating dependency.
Giving Schools Ability & Agility
Plugging the Provision Gap
Mainstream schools are under pressure to retain SEND learners, even when they’re struggling with:
Bloom becomes a bridge, offering personalised, low-demand, interest-led learning in parallel with mainstream education—without needing to remove the learner entirely from their school setting.
Creating “Within School” Provision
This means schools can meet EHCP needs and reduce risk, all while keeping learners on roll and within the wider school community.
Making the Invisible Visible
Gain real-time insight on the below linked to wellbeing, academic data and engagement:
This helps SENCOs and AP Leads track progress without overwhelming admin and strengthens evidence for reviews, interventions, and future funding
Supporting the Whole Child
Bloom connects:
Everyone can access tailored insights and contribute to the learner’s progress in one secure space. No more fragmented files, missed meetings, or “starting from scratch.”
What schools get from Bloom
Bloom gives schools clarity, control and confidence when supporting pupils who don’t thrive in a one-size-fits-all classroom.
Instead of relying on fragmented information, Bloom brings together learning, engagement and wellbeing in one shared view — so staff can see what’s really happening for a child, whatever setting they’re learning in.
Schools using Bloom can:
See the whole child
Make better decisions, sooner
Evidence impact with confidence
Keep responsibility where it belongs
Reduce pressure on staff
Support flexible pathways
