As a former data and exams manager, I’ve seen absence derail student progress. One missed day seems small, but 90% attendance means 15 days lost a year, or three weeks of learning gone. June 2025 DfE data shows schools with automated parent engagement tools saw 15% better attendance. TALAXY, our cloud-based platform, makes this easy, helping schools tackle absence. Here’s how it works and why it matters.

If you’re running a UK school, you’ve probably heard the news. The government has ordered a major review of what students learn in school, with results coming in Autumn 2025. 

This isn’t just tweaking a few subjects; it’s a complete overhaul of the entire curriculum.

Here’s what this means for your school and how you can prepare without the stress.

Early childhood is a time of exploration, growth—and sometimes, early signs that a child may benefit from extra support. 

But what happens before a formal SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities) diagnosis? 

That’s where Cura’s Learning Support Module steps in, helping educators and families work together from day one.

When selecting new software solutions schools must weigh up a range of factors—from saving time and improving communications, to ensuring seamless integration with existing systems. 

Talaxy, developed by TASC Software, is a powerful platform designed with these very needs in mind. Here’s why it stands out.

Building Healthy Habits: Nutrition Guidance for Early Years Providers and How Talaxy Can Help

Establishing healthy eating habits from a young age is essential to a child’s long-term wellbeing. The UK government’s “Nutrition Guidance for Early Years Providers” provides practical, evidence-based advice for nurseries, childminders, and early years settings to meet the nutritional needs of children aged 0–5.

The document sets out best practices for meal planning, feeding routines, and creating positive food environments that support children’s development and lifelong health.

In today’s digital-first world, children are exposed to online content from an increasingly young age. While this opens up exciting learning opportunities, it also introduces new risks—especially for those in early learning environments. As educators and childcare providers, fostering a safe online environment must become a key part of safeguarding practice.

Australia is leading the way in this space. The eSafety Commissioner, has developed a comprehensive Early Years Checklist—a free, practical resource to help early learning services build safe online environments for children, educators, and families.
