About Sensa Technology
Built for children who can't afford to wait
We are a UK-based technology company on a mission to change the way mainstream schools identify and support children with additional needs - earlier, more confidently, and with far less strain on the people who matter most.
Years of combined experience in product, technology and education-sector practice
Why we exist
Support that arrives too late isn't really support at all
In too many schools, the journey to meaningful support for a child with additional needs begins not with early action, but with delay — a referral deferred, a concern left undocumented, a family left wondering. By the time formal processes begin, months have passed and unnecessary strain has already been placed on pupils, staff, and families alike.
We started Sensa Technology because we believe this can change. Not through policy alone, but through practical, well-designed tools that make early identification easier and early action the default.
“Support for children with additional needs too often begins late — after delay, escalation, and avoidable strain on schools, families, and pupils.”
What guides us
Three principles behind everything we build
Early identification, not late reaction
SENSA is designed to surface concerns early — before they become crises — giving school staff the confidence to act at the right moment.
Tools that actually work in schools
We design for the realities of a busy school day — intuitive enough for any member of staff, structured enough to create a reliable record.
Responsible handling of pupil data
Schools trust us with sensitive information. We take that seriously — building data practices that are transparent, compliant, and worthy of that trust.
Our founding story
Experience that goes beyond technology
Sensa Technology was founded by two practitioners with a combined 25+ years of experience across business development, product management, and building AI products that work in the real world — not just on paper.
We came to this problem not as outsiders, but as people who have seen first-hand what happens when the right tools don't exist. SENSA is the product we wished existed — built with the people it is designed to serve.

Our commitments
What schools can always expect from us
Transparency in everything we do
We will always be clear about how SENSA works, what data it uses, and how decisions are made — including where AI is involved.
Continuous improvement with school input
Our roadmap is shaped by the staff and schools who use SENSA. We listen, we iterate, and we share what we learn.
Rigorous data protection as standard
Pupil data is handled in full compliance with UK GDPR and DfE guidance. We will never use pupil data for any purpose beyond delivering the service.
Support that is genuinely accessible
We are committed to fair pricing that reflects the realities of school budgets, alongside substantive onboarding and ongoing support.
