SpirALS: Learning Support Best Practice Made Simple.

SpirALS  has been developed in concert with a wide range of providers, funding agencies, and other bodies to provide a complete best practice framework for planning and managing Learning Support information and monitoring the effectiveness of your provision.

Integrating with your main student systems for maximum accuracy and efficiency, all of your key information is stored in one place. This promotes sharing, collaboration and data ownership for everyone concerned with learning support and its associated funding.

"I am enjoying using SpirALS and making full use of the Group Manager, Support Wizard and Support Templates, all of which really speed up the process of entering support and cost items."

"It’s great to have everything in one place – we will be able to dispense with several other spreadsheet systems – such as exam arrangements, assessment information, room access, equipment inventory."

One system for all processes

SpirALS has been designed from scratch by experts to serve the needs of ALS Managers and Administrators, support practitioners and MIS departments. Indeed, SpirALS has something for everyone involved in any stage of the support process.

A framework for good practice

SpirALS provides a highly cost effective framework for best practice and by keeping all of your important information together in one place, allows you to dispense with numerous paper based systems and mushrooming, disconnected and complex spreadsheets.

Information at your finger tips

At the click of a mouse SpirALS produces hundreds of professionally  pre-designed, high quality reports covering a comprehensive range of information requirements. Everything you need for audit, inspection, budget management, and day to day administration of your provision.

Flexible and customisable

SpirALS has such a great degree of customisability and flexibility that its capabilities are almost limitless. Not only have we endeavoured to include every facility you might need, SpirALS can also be integrated with other Microsoft Office based applications such as Word and Excel, creating your own truly bespoke system.

SpirALS enables you to give a rapid and assured responses to a huge variety of questions, such as:

  • How many learners are having support for a particular support need?
  • Which are your growth areas?
  • What is your total expenditure for low or high cost learners?
  • What is your average support cost per learner?
  • How does planned and actual support delivery compare?
  • Is the support having a positive impact on learner achievement?
  • How does the amount of dyslexia support compare with the previous year?
SpirALS will also help you to respond quickly to ad hoc requests for information such as:
  • The availability of specialist equipment and accessibility for all learners in class rooms
  • When and where support is taking place
  • Justification of expenditure for internal or external audit
  • Staff training requirements
SpirALS does all of this and far more, especially if you use SpirALS and TEAM together.
