SEND Plans & Provision
Most school trackers bolt SEND on as a separate module: a document template disconnected from everything else. In Tracker+, SEND is woven into the same system that tracks attainment, monitors attendance, and powers your pupil progress meetings. One product. One dataset. And a parent voice tool that speaks your families' language, in over 30 of them. Designed with a working group of SENCOs, headteachers, and locality leads.
Book a demoOther systems give you a document template to fill in. The targets live in that document. The assessment data lives somewhere else. The attendance lives somewhere else again. Nothing is connected. Your SENCO does all the joining up, in their head.
An email reminder tells you a review is due. But when you open the plan, there's no snapshot of where the child was when it was written. The data that matters, their reading level, their attendance, their progress, lives in a completely different part of the system. You're left comparing today's data to your memory.
Some systems let parents add a comment to a shared document. That's not parent voice, it's an afterthought bolted onto a filing system. And if English isn't the family's first language, it doesn't work at all. Real voice means structured questions, on any device, in the family's own language, flowing straight into the plan.
The Graduated Response, Guided
Every step draws on the same data that powers the rest of Tracker+. Assessment levels, attendance, interventions, it's all there, live, without your SENCO having to look it up.
Assess a pupil against your local authority's framework, across as many areas of need as apply, with a clear primary and secondary picture on a single plan. The AI already has the pupil's reading, writing and maths levels and their attendance, the same data the headteacher sees in the pupil progress meeting, and suggests a best-fit level with a written rationale. As a child's needs change, the history is kept as evidence.
One plan, every area of need. Grounded in real data.The plan draws on the identification assessment, the pupil's live attainment and attendance, and any previous plan outcomes, with no re-entry. It suggests SMART targets and success criteria for the SENCO to edit, refine or replace. This is where the one-page profile lives too: what people like and admire about the child, what's important to them, and how best to support them.
Targets built for this child, not copied from last year.For each target, the system suggests provision, and it only ever offers what your school has actually approved, drawn from your own interventions and your local authority's programmes. It records the type, the staff role, the frequency and the session length, and costs it per pupil per week from your school's pay scales. When governors ask what SEND support costs, you have a real number, not an estimate.
Only your approved provision. Costed automatically.For each target, the system generates five practical classroom strategies a teacher can use on Monday morning, drawn from your framework's recommended approaches. Teachers edit them inline, remove ones that don't fit, or ask for more. Those strategies also surface in pupil progress meetings, so the headteacher sees them in context.
Actionable strategies that follow the child across the system.Send a parent a private link and they share their views from their phone, no login required. If the family's first language isn't English, the whole page is in their home language, and their reply is translated back to English onto the plan automatically. Younger pupils can send a photo or a drawing instead of typing. It all flows straight in, with no copying, chasing or retyping.
Any device. Over 30 languages. Straight into the plan.Start a review and the system takes a fresh snapshot of the same assessment and attendance data that powers every other page, and shows it beside the snapshot from when the plan was written. You see exactly what changed, from data, not memory. Work through target outcomes, then provision, then the meeting discussion, then the decision, with much of it drafted for you from what the cycle recorded.
Then versus now. Largely written before you start.Parent & Pupil Voice
Person-centred planning only works if the family can take part. When you request a parent's views, they receive them in their home language, share their thoughts from any phone, and their reply arrives back on the plan in English, ready for the SENCO. No interpreter to book, no forms to translate, no barrier. It works in over thirty languages, and it's already helping schools reach families they could never fully include before.
A private link opens on a phone with no account and no app. Parents share their views in a couple of minutes, wherever they are.
The family writes in their own language; their response lands on the plan translated into English, with the original kept alongside it.
Pupils can add their own voice, and younger children can send a photo or a drawing instead of typing. Their view sits in the plan next to everyone else's.
Everything other systems don't do
Other systems leave the SENCO to hold the framework in their head. Tracker+ works from your local authority's own support grid, so the targets, strategies and levels it suggests are drawn from the framework you're actually held to.
In most systems, SEND data sits in its own silo. In Tracker+, SEN plans pull in live assessment and attendance, pupil progress meetings surface the targets, and the governor report aggregates everything. One product, not modules that don't talk to each other.
Write to a family straight from the child's record, with the plan's targets summarised inside the message, and send it in their home language. The whole thread is kept against the pupil, so nothing lives in a personal inbox.
No more phone tag. Send a link with available slots. The parent picks one and confirms from their phone, the plan's review date updates itself, and they get a calendar invitation. Done.
Other systems let you record a cost against a provision group. Tracker+ works it out from your school's actual pay scales, session frequency and staff role, so the figure a governor sees is real. No spreadsheet, no guesswork.
Cohort profile, attainment gaps, attendance comparison, graduated-response figures, identification breakdown, voice response rates and intervention summary. Seven sections, one page, built from the live data at the click of a button.
SEN records are the most sensitive information a school holds, so we treat them that way. This part of Tracker+ is held to the highest standard we apply anywhere in the product, and it is the compliance bar we hold ourselves to across the whole SEND suite.
Sensitive SEN information is fully encrypted, held to the highest standard we apply anywhere in Tracker+.
Where SEND tools use AI, real pupil names are protected. The child's identity stays with your school.
Access is controlled and recorded, and the suite is built around the data-protection duties a school and a trust have to meet.
Today, when a professional's report or an EHC plan arrives, it gets filed, and the useful recommendations inside it tend to get lost. We're building something that changes that completely: your documents held in one place, and actually put to work.
Add a speech therapist's report or an EHC plan to the child's record, and Tracker+ reads it and pulls out what matters, so nobody retypes a thing.
Each recommendation comes back as a suggestion you can turn into a target or a provision, carrying a note of where it came from and when. The thread from advice to action is never lost.
For an EHC plan, it reads Section F and checks every provision the plan legally specifies against what you're actually delivering, so annual review readiness is a standing state, not a night-before scramble.
It's genuinely ahead of anything else out there, and it'll be there as an option when you take up Tracker+, yours to switch on if you want it. We'll share more as we get closer, so if you'd like to hear first, mention it when you book a demo.
This is the difference
In other systems, SEND lives in its own corner. The SENCO works in one place, the headteacher in another, and nobody sees what the other is doing. In Tracker+, SEN data flows through the entire system, because it was never separate to begin with.
Pupil progress meetings show the SEN plan status, current targets and identification level right in the discussion panel. The headteacher sees the SENCO's work without asking.
Pupil passports surface SEN plan status, targets and the one-page profile alongside assessment trajectories and intervention impact.
The governor report aggregates SEN cohort data, attainment gaps, attendance comparisons, identification and intervention impact into one analytical view.
Interventions link directly to SEN plan targets, with provision costing, session attendance tracking and impact analysis.
