Lexia deserves a 10/10 due to its clear and consistent impact on pupil progress, particularly in reading and phonics for SEN learners. It provides precise diagnostic data that allows for highly targeted intervention, enables pupils to work independently at the correct level, and supports accelerated progress across key reading domains. It also improves teaching efficiency by reducing planning load and giving staff immediate insight into gaps, while demonstrating measurable improvements in attainment and closing gaps across cohorts.
