Evidence for Learning is an online software tool and app which enables Yewstock School staff to record and manage information related to the development and progress of your child.

We take photos and videos of your child’s/young person’s learning and progress towards their academic progress and their EHCP Outcomes. The most exciting element is that parents can download the ‘Evidence for Learning Family’ (iOS/Android) app which will allow you to see what your child is learning at school.  In addition to this, you will be able to add your own photos and videos to share with the class team to show what your child/young person has been learning at home too! This will allow us all to celebrate the child’s/young person’s achievements and progress at school, home and in the community.

Any use of the Evidence for Learning (EFL) Family app will need to abide by the following Acceptable Use conditions:

Photos/videos uploaded to the Evidence for Learning (EFL) family app from school:

  • Photos/videos uploaded by staff from school may contain your child/young person within a group
    of children/young people.
  • The general ‘No photos/videos permission form’ held by the school office refers to the publication
    of photos/videos in media and social media (including the school website) only. This is not the same
    as photos/videos used within the EfL Family App. If you grant photo/video permission here, this
    means your child/young person can be included in group photos/videos within the EfL app. EfL is a
    closed system secured to the highest national General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and only
    accessible to signed up members of the Yewstock School and College community.
  • In line with our safeguarding policies, no photos/videos from school which include other
    children/young people should be shared on any social media.
  • EfL Family app accounts will be deactivated if school-based photos/videos are used on social media.

Parents & Carers – When sharing home based photos and videos with the school please consider:

  • People/children/young people in the photos/videos, must have given their consent for the image to be shared with school.
  • The photo/video must be appropriate for school use i.e. clothing/language also consider who or what is in the background of the image.
