SEN school MIS · founding cohort live September 2026

The SEN school,
rebuilt around conversation.

A complete Management Information System for SEN schools, where every professional record is created by talking — not by filling in a form.

What's getting lost in the gaps

Three structural failures every SEN school recognises.

01

Records that don't exist

The records that get written are the ones a staff member had time to type into the right form on the right system. The rest don't get written. Professional judgment was exercised — but the system has no trace of it.

02

Knowledge that walks out the door

What works for each child — the trigger that mattered, the strategy that finally clicked, the parent context that changes everything — lives in staff heads. When they leave, it leaves with them.

03

Admin workload that only grows

EHCP reviews, evidence packs, multi-agency minutes, tribunal-ready documentation — the volume keeps growing. Staffing does not. SenSight is built to take that weight off the people carrying it.

One conversational surface for everything

Speak or type what happened. The system does the rest.

SenSight extracts the structured record, shows you exactly what it captured, and writes to the database once you confirm.

1

Staff speak or type

In plain words — by voice or keyboard — what actually happened.

2

AI extracts the record

Type, pupil, time, severity, what worked — structured automatically.

3

You review & confirm

The staff member checks what was captured and confirms it. Always.

4

Database commits

Audit trail recorded, profile updated, statutory clocks started.

No formsNo menusNo buttons to hunt forJust say what happened — once.
Two ways to turn reality into records

Every MIS stores data. The question is who does the organising — and whether intelligence ever comes back out.

The old way

Clicking through dropdowns & nested tables

  • The staff member translates reality into the system, screen by screen, by hand.
  • Right system → right module → dropdowns → nested tables → fill fields → re-key elsewhere.
  • Fragmented modules: behaviour, attendance, SEN, safeguarding — disconnected.
Data goes in. Nothing comes back out.
vs
The SenSight way

AI as the organising layer

  • The staff member just says what happened — once, in plain words.
  • The AI understands, structures, routes, cross-references and compiles — the work staff used to do, done automatically.
  • One connected source of truth: records, audit trail, briefings, patterns, evidence packs.
Capture flows down. Intelligence flows back up — automatically.
It compounds

The longer you use it, the more useful it becomes.

Most school systems are filing cabinets — what you put in is what you get out. SenSight turns every record into understanding that recompiles, every night.

Capture

In seconds, in plain language

Type or speak an event. In one step it becomes a structured, time-stamped record with a full audit trail. No double entry.

Confirm

Nothing is written behind your back

The AI drafts; a person always confirms before it touches a child's file. The database stays the single source of truth.

Recall

Ask in plain English, get a cited answer

“What's the picture on this pupil?” returns the right context in seconds — every claim traced to its source.

Consolidate

It “dreams” overnight

Every night it re-reads the day's records and rewrites itself — profiles, family summaries and timelines recompile, current by morning. Nobody maintains them.

Surface

It tells you before you ask

Each role opens to a briefing prepared overnight: today's safeguarding priorities, deadlines coming due, patterns across the school. The insight finds the person.

Compound

Growing institutional memory

New staff inherit a living, current understanding of every pupil — not a binder. The record improves month over month.

Safe by design

Built for the conversations your DPO and governors will have.

Data stays in the UK & EU

All pupil data — at rest and in transit — remains within UK/EU infrastructure. Always.

AI providers don't see pupil names

Names are stripped before any AI call. Providers don't retain what they do see — zero-retention agreements.

Every change is logged

A comprehensive audit trail on every record, status change and approval — queryable for inspections and tribunals.

Role-aware visibility

Records are visible only to the roles you configure. Each school sets its own approval chains.

25-year statutory retention

Default 25-year retention with automatic expiry. Configurable per school.

Eleven workstreams across the school

Everything an SEN school documents — through one surface.

Active development now, with full coverage sequenced through 2026. Phase 2 — parent portal and student tutor — follows for 2026/27.

Learning & pastoral support with persistent memory — the tutor learns the pupil.

From overlay to single system

No MIS switch required to start.

SenSight runs alongside what you already have on day one, and becomes the source of truth only when you're ready — earned, not imposed.

Day one — the overlay

No switch · no migration · no IT lift

SenSight overlay — capture · structure · confirm
Incumbent MIS — SIMS · Arbor · Bromcom
Safeguarding tool — Sleuth · CPOMS
Spreadsheet trackers — EHCPs · goals · allegations

Your MIS stays. Your safeguarding tool stays. Your trackers stay. SenSight captures the conversational records that today don't get into any of them.

Over time — single system

Trust earned · transition gradual

01

Runs alongside

SenSight captures what today doesn't get recorded. Your IT team has nothing to migrate.

02

Trust compounds

Records accumulate into a knowledge graph. Briefings draft themselves; statutory packs assemble; patterns surface.

03

System of record

When you're ready, SenSight becomes canonical. The legacy MIS becomes a read-only archive — on your timeline.

Day one: nothing changes for IT.  In time: SenSight is the single source of truth.

Founding cohort · launching September 2026

Built around conversation.
Let's start one.

A small founding cohort of SEN school groups goes live with the MVP this September — built around their actual schools and their actual statutory needs. Founding schools shape the system everyone else will use.
