If you're a SENCO in 2025, you already know the truth: your role has expanded far beyond what your job description ever suggested. Between managing EHCP reviews, tracking interventions, working with external agencies, supporting families, meeting with staff, and reporting to governors, the administrative workload can feel endless.
Recent research shows SENCOs spend around 60% of their time on admin and paperwork, leaving little room for strategic work or student support.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way. At Senflow, we’ve built a platform designed specifically to take the weight of admin off your shoulders. Here are 10 practical ways to reclaim your time — and how Senflow helps you do it effortlessly.
Time saved: 5–8 hours per week
Most SENCOs switch between MIS systems, spreadsheets, email chains, Google Drive folders, paper files, and various trackers every day. This constant hopping wastes time, creates inconsistencies, and makes it easy for things to slip through the cracks.
How Senflow helps:
“Before Senflow, I was constantly switching between our MIS, spreadsheets, and shared drives. Now it’s all in one place.” — Sarah M., SENCO, Manchester
Time saved: 2–3 hours per week
Spreadsheet reminders and manual trackers are easy to miss. When you’re managing dozens of reviews, something inevitably gets overlooked.
How Senflow helps:
Never miss a review again.
Time saved: 6–10 hours per month
Provision maps, funding reports, SEND registers, and SLT packs all take hours to build manually.

“The provision map alone saves me four hours every time.” — Emma R., SENCO, Leeds
Time saved: 3–4 hours per week
Before a meeting, SENCOs often spend 20 minutes gathering documents, checking interventions, and looking for notes.
How Senflow helps:
Two minutes instead of twenty.
Time saved: 3–5 hours per week
Complex spreadsheets break, become outdated, or rely on manual chasing.
How Senflow helps:
No more spreadsheets.
Time saved: 2–3 hours per week
EPs, OTs, SALT teams, and external specialists visit regularly — but the records often get scattered.
How Senflow helps:
Instant answers when parents or teachers ask.
Time saved: 2–3 hours per week
Meetings generate actions and important information, yet notes often end up in emails, notebooks, or documents that get buried.
How Senflow helps:
Everything stays organised and searchable.
Time saved: 1–2 hours per week
The mental load of keeping track of everything is heavy.
How Senflow helps:
Start each day with clarity.
Time saved: 4–6 hours per week
Teachers constantly ask for EHCP targets, needs summaries, and intervention details.
How Senflow helps:
You stop being the bottleneck for basic info.
Time saved: 3–4 hours per term
During Ofsted or LA audits, you need instant access to historical data.
How Senflow helps:
When Ofsted asks, you’re ready in seconds.
You can’t run an efficient SEND operation using spreadsheets, paper files, and disconnected folders. Even well-designed home-made systems eventually become unmanageable.
We’ve met SENCOs who tried to build:
Every single one eventually collapsed under its own admin burden.
Senflow is different because it’s purpose-built for UK SENCOs, not adapted from a generic system.
What makes Senflow unique:
We know you’re busy, and we know other systems may have disappointed you. That’s why our demos are short, practical, and tailored to real situations.
In 15–20 minutes, we’ll show you:
No pressure. No commitment.
