What Children Need When They're Stuck:

Primary Needs Assessments (PNA)

Immediate specialist insight for primary learners, with or without a formal diagnosis. 
Mapping a child's exact learning needs into robust ISP and EHCNA evidence.

Serving West Sussex, Hampshire & Surrey.

STUCKHUB bridges the gap between specialist evidence and bespoke classroom intervention.

​​

In a young child’s learning journey, we only have today. Yet the current SEND system forces everyone into a "wait and see" limbo:

  • Children stay stuck not knowing why they find work hard.

  • Parents stay stuck in a loop of uncertainty with no immediate answers.

  • Educators stay stuck without specialist intervention and the exact targets needed to move a child forward.

  • Local Authorities stay stuck behind severe assessment backlogs without the clear data needed to allocate support.

 

"The problem is... too many don’t get what they need, when they need it... the only way in practice for a child to receive support is via an EHC plan." The SEND Green Paper

 

We break this cycle, moving the entire circle from STUCK to UNSTUCK.

 

Our Primary Needs Assessment (PNA) identifies a child's exact foundational gaps, providing the compliant data and precise insights required to unlock progress. No waiting lists - just a Primary Needs Assessment Report delivered within 14 days.

What Makes a STUCKHUB Assessment Different?

We don’t just identify the struggle; we provide the solution.

Investigation, Not Screening

Most tools tell you that a child is behind; we investigate why. We go beyond the surface to identify the specific foundational gaps preventing progress.
Strategies, Not Scores

We don’t just provide a data point. We deliver an Actionable Learning Profile with precise targets and strategies you can implement in the classroom immediately.
Expert Peer Perspective

Designed and administered by a Dual-QTS Specialist Teacher with over 30 years of Primary experience. We understand the reality of the classroom, not just the theory of the test.
Speed with Substance

While the system faces months of delay, we deliver compliant, robust evidence within 14 days to fulfill your 'Assess & Plan' duties now.

Fulfilling the 'Assess & Plan' requirements of the SEND Code of Practice (2015).

A Foundation for Learning

More than a screener. A specialist profile for teaching.

The PNA is not a "tick-box" screener. It isn't a supporting document - it is a source document. We don’t measure "potential" or make vague suggestions; we investigate actual foundational gaps and provide immediate classroom solutions.

 

By focusing entirely on how a child holistically processes information - with or without a formal diagnosis - we bypass the statutory waiting game to unlock the correct school support today. ​

  • Policy Aligned: Built to fulfill the 'Assess' requirements of the current SEND Code of Practice and align perfectly with the 2026 National Inclusion Standards.

  • Action Ready: Explicitly designed to provide the precise evidence needed to populate the new statutory Individual Support Plans (ISPs) and unlock early-intervention funding.

  • Future Proof: Provides the robust, independent evidence required if a child needs to escalate to a Specialist tier or an EHCNA application later.

2026 Strategy: Budget Preservation & Triage

With national standards putting unprecedented pressure on High Needs budgets, STUCKHUB provides the strategic provision triage needed to protect your school's 3-year plan:

  • Sustainable Triage: An immediate alternative to clinical pathways, identifying needs early to prevent high-cost escalation.

  • Inclusive Strategy: Practical classroom adjustments to help children thrive within mainstream Inclusion Bases, reducing the demand for expensive alternative placements.

 

Compliance Note: STUCKHUB identifies educational barriers and foundational gaps; we do not provide medical or clinical diagnoses. Final decisions regarding statutory EHCP provision and funding remain the sole responsibility of the School and Local Authority.

My Mission:

 

"  I created STUCKHUB because no child should be left behind in their learning or isolated from their peers while waiting for support. My mission is to support the 'invisible' learners quietly cruising through Primary school  - giving families answers, giving teachers a roadmap and giving children back their confidence. I don’t just identify where a learner is STUCK; I show educators how they can be UNSTUCK in order to protect their future.

​​

As a Specialist Primary Teacher holding Dual-QTS, I look beneath current curriculum levels to uncover the foundational gaps. My approach is defined by precision, speed and deep compassion:

  • Identifying Micro-Gaps: Uncovering the hidden barriers and learning frustrations that standard testing misses.

  • An Actionable Learning Profile: Providing teachers and parents with a clear, stress-free starting point for daily classroom support.

  • A Bridge for Everyone: Creating a compassionate, common language that unites parents, schools and Local Authorities under the 2026 National Inclusion Standards

​My report delivers the rigorous evidence required for the statutory process and immediate classroom action, bypassing systemic delays to get children the right support when they need it most - NOW. "
