Known
The right people can understand context quickly.
Education and learning intelligence
Learning intelligence that turns insight into action.
Mattering Works builds software for schools and workplaces that helps people be known, supported and able to contribute.
We help teachers, leaders and managers understand what people need, what support works, and what action to take next.

Our belief
People matter. Systems should help us act like it.
Every learner and employee brings context, strengths, needs and potential. But too often, the information that helps people support them is scattered, static or hard to use.
We believe better insight should lead to better action. At Mattering Works, mattering means being known, valued, supported and able to contribute.
Valued
Strengths, needs and contributions are visible.
Supported
Useful strategies are shared and acted on.
Able to contribute
People are helped to participate, grow and add value.
What we build
Software for learning, support and contribution.
Our tools help organisations answer practical human questions: who needs support, what has worked before, who needs to know, what action should happen next, and how do we know it made a difference?

Learners
Whole-pupil learning intelligence
A better way to understand and support every pupil. Starting from the limitations of static pupil passports, this platform helps schools capture what works and make that insight useful.
- Quick pupil insight for teachers
- Support strategies that are easy to act on
- Evidence of what works
- Useful for SEND, Pupil Premium and wider learner support
- Designed around belonging, contribution and mattering
People
Workplace learning intelligence
Helping managers support employee growth by understanding how employees learn, what support helps them develop, and how insight can become better conversations and actions.
- Employee learning profiles
- Manager support prompts
- Development action tracking
- Learning transfer evidence
- HR and L&D dashboards
Why it matters
The problem is not a lack of data. It is a lack of usable insight.
Schools and organisations already hold huge amounts of information about people. But information alone does not create belonging, support or progress.
Teachers do not need longer documents. Managers do not need another dashboard. Leaders do not need more disconnected reports.
Insight only matters when it changes what happens next.
Built differently
Human-centred. Evidence-informed. Software-first.
Mattering Works combines classroom experience, software engineering, learning science and organisational thinking. We are building tools that are practical enough for real classrooms, robust enough for schools and organisations, and thoughtful enough to protect the human purpose behind the data.
Human-centred
We design around people, not labels. The aim is to help learners and employees be better understood and better supported.
Evidence-informed
Our approach is grounded in research on learning, belonging, contribution, mattering and organisational development.
Software-first
We build scalable tools and workflows, not one-off consultancy. Insight should be easy to access, act on and evidence.
Founded by a teacher and software engineer with experience building reliable systems at scale.
Early access
Want to shape what comes next?
We are currently developing our first tools for schools, beginning with a Computer Science teaching platform and early work on whole-pupil learning intelligence.
If you are a teacher, school leader, SENDCO, pastoral lead, HR professional or learning and development specialist, we would love to hear from you.
