Accommodation isn't a special mode. It's built into the ordinary settings every family can open.
Over 1.6 million children in England have an identified special educational need. Fennby never asks a family to prove a diagnosis before switching on font size, extra time, or read-aloud, these are available to everyone, on every plan, always.
Free on every plan, 20% off too
- ✓ No diagnosis or EHCP required
- ✓ Chosen by your child, in their Settings
- ✓ Visible to you and their tutor
- ✓ 20% off for any SEND child
Every accommodation, available to every family
Dyslexia-friendly font
A validated dyslexia-friendly typeface, available at the flick of a switch — independent of the rest of the site's design.
Adjustable text size
Every screen reflows properly at a larger size, nothing breaks or overlaps.
Colour overlays
A small set of soft tint overlays for children who experience visual stress or Irlen-type sensitivity.
Content in smaller pieces
Mock exam questions and instructions can be shown in more manageable chunks instead of dense blocks.
Extra time, automatically applied
Set 25% or 50% extra time once, and it applies across digital, print-and-shade, and simulation modes — no need to remember to switch it on each time.
Low stimulation mode
Turns down animation, badge-celebration intensity, and background decoration beyond our already-calm defaults.
Symbol-supported communication
Simple instructions and messages with symbol support, for children who benefit from it.
Sensory break reminders
A gentle, optional prompt during longer sessions, suggesting a short break.
Read-aloud, everywhere
Every mock exam question, every message, and long pages like this one can be read aloud — reading speed and voice are yours to adjust.
Find all of these under Settings → Learning Preferences once you're signed in — never behind a menu item labelled "SEND."
Print-and-shade is already an accommodation
Our print-and-shade mock exam mode — print at home, complete on paper, photograph it — was designed as one of three equal ways to sit a mock, but for many children who find screen-based assessment harder, it's a meaningful accommodation in its own right, not an afterthought.
Every result clearly shows whether a mock was taken with accommodations, so parents and tutors can read progress honestly, not misleadingly.
- ✓ Extra time applies automatically once set, across all three modes
- ✓ Read-aloud on by default for any profile that requests it
- ✓ Available as an option for any child, regardless of profile
- ✓ Accommodated attempts are always clearly labelled
A CLEAR PROMISE
- ✓ No diagnosis or EHCP required to switch on any accommodation
- ✓ Nothing in Learning Preferences sits behind a paid tier
- ✓ Your child's profile is visible to you and their assigned tutor — never hidden
- ✓ We never make diagnostic claims — only ever "you may wish to discuss this with your child's school or GP"
Tutors who understand, not just software that adapts
Tutors can indicate SEND experience — dyslexia, autism, ADHD, speech and language needs — during their application, verified where possible alongside their DBS and reference checks. Where a family's profile indicates a need, our matching gives weight to experienced tutors, without narrowing options unfairly in areas where fewer tutors are available.
Our tutor training academy includes practical, plain-language SEND content — unlocked once a tutor's agreement is signed, same as every other module.
A child should never have to ask for the basics
