Which of your pupils took part in nothing this term?
Avalon Achieve® connects club scheduling, attendance and awards to your MIS, so you can filter participation by SEND, Pupil Premium, FSM and EAL in one click. Built around the DfE Enrichment Framework.
Used in secondary schools across England since 2023.
The Eight DfE Enrichment Benchmarks – and the four that need data
The Department for Education published its Enrichment Framework in June 2026. Eight benchmarks describe what a strong enrichment offer should be. Four of them depend on evidence you can produce, and that is the part most schools are missing.
Benchmark 1
Strategically Aligned
Benchmark 2
Broad and well-rounded
- Civic engagement
- Arts and culture
- Nature, outdoors and adventure
- Sport and physical activities
- Developing wider life and future skills
Benchmark 3
Well-communicated; celebrates participation
Needs data
Benchmark 4
Shaped by the school community
Benchmark 5
Accessible and engaging
Needs data
Benchmark 6
Works in partnership
Benchmark 7
Outcomes-focused
Needs data
Benchmark 8
Continually improving
Needs data
The five activity categories sit inside Benchmark 2 only. The framework is non-statutory guidance; Ofsted’s September 2026 inspection toolkit asks inspectors to have regard to it where applicable.
The Gap is Evidence, Not Provision
Most of what the framework describes is already happening in your school. You run a broad offer. You involve pupils. You work with partners. What usually does not exist is the record of who actually turned up.
- Every activity in one place, mapped across the five categories.
- Attendance at pupil level for every session, not a termly headcount.
- Participation cross-referenced with SEND, PP, FSM and EAL, live from your MIS.
- The pupils attending nothing, flagged for follow-up
- A participation report you can produce on demand and cross-reference against outcomes.
Avalon Achieve® works for everyone in your school
Whether you’re a form tutor checking in at 8:50am, a deputy head preparing an Ofsted evidence pack, or a student who needs to feel like they belong — Avalon gives you exactly what you need, when you need it.
Students
“I want to feel like I belong.”
Every activity attended, every award earned, every outside-school interest logged. Students see their own progress and feel recognised — not just by results, but by who they’re becoming.
Form Tutors
“I need a quick picture at 8:50am.”
One screen shows every student in your group — their latest activity, award progress, and any flags. Not a spreadsheet. Not a conversation you have to chase. Just the picture, right there.
Senior Leaders
“I need an Ofsted evidence pack by Friday.”
Filter participation data by SEND, PP, FSM or EAL. See Enrichment Benchmark coverage across all five categories. Export to Excel with UPN for cross-referencing. Ready before the inspector asks.
Used in Secondary Schools Across England Since 2023
Avalon Achieve® has been in active use since 2023. Schools including Richard Challoner School in Kingston and Blackpool Aspire Academy have built their enrichment programmes on the platform – tracking thousands of student activities, awards, and enrichment outcomes every term.
Education is about developing the whole person. The flexible nature of Avalon Achieve® means you can decide what to track and how to track it. In doing so you can recognise and celebrate the achievements of your students outside the classroom, in areas that in past have been missed. Why wouldn’t you do this?

Why Move off Spreadsheets
Awards and recognition, not just attendance tracking
A spreadsheet tracks who turned up. Avalon Achieve® goes further: points, awards, student journalling, and a recognition culture that gives every student (especially the disengaged ones) a visible reason to show up and stay engaged.
SEND and disadvantaged pupil compliance built in
PP, FSM, EAL and SEND status is pulled live from your MIS. Every report can be filtered by characteristic group. When an inspector asks who is accessing enrichment, you have the answer immediately, with data to back it.
Mapped to the DfE Enrichment Framework out of the box
Activities map directly to the five activity categories inside Benchmark 2, and reporting covers the evidence expectations in Benchmarks 3, 5, 7 and 8. Coverage reports are generated at the click of a button. No manual work, no spreadsheet reconciliation the night before an inspection.
Your school’s name, your school’s brand
Every Avalon instance is branded with the school’s name and crest. Students log in to ‘Challoner Challenge’ or ‘SJB RISE’ — not ‘Avalon’. It feels like yours because it is.
What Students Say
It rewarded the things I was already doing – and that pushed me to do more

See Where Your School Stands
Five minutes, and you get a score against the areas the framework covers, plus where your gaps are. No hard sell, just a conversation about what you need and whether we’re the right fit.
