The SEND referral process at SENse
It’s important to us that we have a robust referral process so that we can deliver the highest quality education to every young person we work with.

We see trust as the cornerstone of effective learning and prioritise establishing strong relationships to help our students access education and thrive.
Our ethos centres around providing flexible, creative and innovative learning packages to children and young people with special educational needs (SEN). We do this by tailoring each learning package so that every student gets a bespoke education to meet their needs, aspirations and learning styles.
Our average turnaround time is 12 weeks between a referring partner approving our services and sessions beginning. This enables us to create matches between our students and associates that make SENse.
