Steppit Wavelength

In the UK, Key Stage 2 pupils with special educational needs (SEN) are over three times less likely to meet the expected SATs standard—and nine times less likely to achieve the higher standard.^(source)

Teachers work hard to support every student, but with such diverse needs in the classroom, lessons often have to be designed for the majority. This can leave some students feeling disconnected or struggling to keep up.

This often has nothing to do with their capability—the subject just isn’t resonating with them, or the pace doesn't suit their needs.

That’s why we’re creating Steppit Wavelength: a personalised learning initiative to help every student learn at their own pace, in their own style.

Step-by-Step

With every session broken into easily digestible steps, learners are never overwhelmed.

At Their Pace

Every student is in control of their learning journey, only moving forward when they're ready.

Personalised

Wavelength's AI matches up the best sessions to each learner based on their unique needs.

Accessible

Options available for subtitles, dyslexic-friendly text and sessions taught in BSL.

In collaboration with UK educators, our team is building a diverse pool of engaging, personalised learning sessions tailored to different needs and interests.

From that pool, Wavelength’s AI matches each pupil up with the sessions that are most likely to resonate with them, giving them an easy path to learning curriculum at their own pace.

Every time a student follows a session, the teacher who created it earns royalties so that every educator is rewarded for their expertise and impact.

Let’s take an example from Key Stage 2 Science, where three pupils in year 3 need help with the same learning objective—forces and magnets: comparing how things move on different surfaces. Here’s how Wavelength adapts to meet each student’s unique needs:

[data-wf-bgvideo-fallback-img] { display: none; } @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { [data-wf-bgvideo-fallback-img] { position: absolute; z-index: -100; display: inline-block; height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: cover; } }

Liam

Liam is deaf and super curious, with a love for hands-on experiments that show science in action. He benefits from accessible formats like British Sign Language (BSL), and otherwise needs closed captions to follow along.

Wavelength assigns Liam an experiment where he rolls objects down ramps with different surfaces to explore how friction affects movement, with captions enabled to help him follow along with the instructions. He’s also matched with a BSL-presented activity involving bottles of rice and water. By inserting a pencil into each bottle and lifting it, Liam discovers how friction in the rice resists movement, lifting the bottle, while the water allows the pencil to slide out smoothly.

Aisha

Aisha is reflective and autistic with a Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile. She prefers low-pressure, structured activities that feel open-ended and avoid creating stress. She also prefers mess-free tasks.

Wavelength matches Aisha with a reflective activity where she watches a sled being dragged on different surfaces and answers open-ended questions like, “What do you think will happen if...?” This approach encourages her to think critically without feeling pressured to participate directly. She’s also given a playful car race activity, where she explores how different surfaces affect speed and movement in a way that feels more like a game than a lesson.

Maya

Maya is creative, hands-on and dyslexic, thriving in practical, visual activities that allow her to experiment and express herself, while dyslexic-friendly text and closed captions help her keep up with her sessions.

Wavelength matches Maya with the ramp experiment where she rolls objects down surfaces like sandpaper and wood, discovering how friction changes their speed. She’s also assigned a creative activity where she makes a collage of materials, then drags an object across each one to explore how they affect movement—combining artistic expression with scientific discovery.

Phase 1: Building the Foundation

From our base in London, our small team built Steppit to transform online learning with easy-to-create, no-overwhelm formats that empower students to learn at their own pace.

Learn More About Steppit

We soon discovered that a diverse range of learners, particularly those with SEND, absolutely loved learning skills on Steppit. This inspired us to develop Wavelength and provide them with a way of digesting the subjects they need to know, and struggle with most.

Phase 2: Piloting the Experience

To bring our vision to life, we’re starting small: creating pilot content in Key Stage 2 Science to trial our production methods and demonstrate Wavelength’s potential at scale. By working closely with UK educators, we’re testing a range of styles and approaches to create highly personalised learning experiences.

Phase 3: Partnering with Educators

Now

We’re currently on the lookout for passionate teachers, specialists, and subject matter experts to join us in creating a diverse pool of high-quality learning sessions. These partnerships are essential to building a rich, inclusive content pool that covers the curriculum and meets a wide range of learner needs.

Interested in partnering with us to create content on Wavelength? We'd love to hear from you. Register your interest below and we'll set up a meeting.

Phase 5: Full Rollout

With a refined platform and a diverse pool of content, we’ll roll out Wavelength to schools and learners across the UK.

Our goal is simple: to make personalised, step-by-step learning accessible to every student, helping them thrive no matter their needs or background.
