One connected picture.

Record each support staff member with their contracted and SEND hours.

• Add teaching assistants, HLTAs, and support staff with their role and contracted weekly hours.
• Set how many of those hours are dedicated to SEND, plus an optional salary to unlock cost analysis.
• Group staff into staffing scenarios to model different team structures side by side.

Build the SEND register with each pupil's need, hours, and One Plan.

• Record year group, class, and the weekly hours of support each pupil needs.
• Capture EHCP status and funding band, then RAG-rate each pupil across the eight assessment questions.
• Add One Plan outcomes and targets so progress and impact can be tracked over time.

Allocate staff hours to pupils in the deployment matrix.

• Assign each staff member's hours across pupils in a single visual matrix.
• Create multiple deployment scenarios to test different allocations against each other.
• Spot provision gaps where a pupil's hours fall short of their need, and see the cost of each scenario.

See how SEND spend maps to budget, funding, and outcomes.

• Track the SEND budget overview and utilisation against actual staff cost.
• Break down staff costs, high-needs funding, and cost efficiency per pupil, per outcome, and per hour.
• Cost One Plan outcomes from planned hours and the deployed staff rate.

Track the SEI and five component KPIs, with year-on-year change and next steps.

• See the SEND Efficiency Index and its five KPIs, each banded red, amber, or green with year-on-year change.
• Work through actionable insights and the practical next steps drawn from the metrics.
• Review provision, watch for support drift, and compare staff breakdowns through the charts.

Roll the same metrics up to trust level and compare schools.

• See trust-wide KPIs and a league table ranking every school in the trust.
• Compare schools on each metric, with trend lines split per school.
• Drill from the trust view straight into any school to act on what you find.

Work the dashboard's actionable insights into deployment changes, then retest.

• Each insight gives a diagnosis, a recommended action, and the steps to take, with a link straight to the page where you make the change.
• Rebalance deployment from the insight: reclaim SEND hours lost to drift, match support to documented need, and redirect freed capacity to under-served pupils.
• Re-run the deployment scenario, watch the SEI and its KPIs respond, then retest at the next termly review.
