“We believe every child can succeed, but our teaching approaches don’t reflect that belief consistently across subjects and year groups.”
School leaders want to create truly inclusive education where every student—from EAL learners to those with SEND, from academically gifted to those facing significant disadvantages—can access challenging curriculum through pathways that match their learning strengths. The aspiration is for inclusion to be embedded in lesson design from the start, not retrofitted as an afterthought.

The Challenge
Whilst inclusion policies are excellent on paper, implementation varies dramatically between departments and individual teachers. Some educators excel at differentiation whilst others struggle, leading to:
Patchy inclusive practice that depends on individual teacher expertise rather than systematic approaches.
Achievement gaps that persist despite best intentions and significant investment in SEND support.
Teacher overwhelm when trying to meet diverse needs without clear frameworks.
Student frustration when some lessons are accessible whilst others create barriers to learning.
Wasted time retrofitting accommodations rather than designing inclusively from the outset.
How AskArk
Was Used
Custom UDL Ask Created and Available to All Staff
The school worked with AskArk to create a bespoke Custom Ask specifically designed around their UDL implementation needs. This Custom Ask was then made available to all teaching staff across every department.
The Custom Ask Process:
- Custom Ask Created: Designed specifically for the school’s context, student demographics, and inclusion priorities, capturing their proven approaches to differentiation and accessibility.
- Available to All Staff: Every teacher across all subjects and year groups has access to the same UDL framework through their personalised Custom Ask.
- Practical Implementation: Teachers input lesson context (e.g., “Year 9 Chemistry, chemical reactions, includes 3 EAL students, 2 with dyslexia, 1 with ADHD, 4 working significantly above level”) and receive comprehensive UDL-aligned lesson plans.
- Consistent Framework: The Custom Ask ensures systematic inclusive practice across departments whilst adapting to individual subject and student needs.
- Continuous Refinement: The Custom Ask evolves based on what works best for the school’s specific student population and teaching context.
The Results
- Systematic Inclusive Excellence
- Improved Student Outcomes
- Enhanced Teacher Confidence
- Strategic Policy Implementation
- Strengthened Community Trust
- Countless Administrative Hours Saved
