Every SENCO Knows This Feeling
The inspection letter lands. You have 48 hours. And somewhere in your filing system is a checklist you last updated two terms ago.
Compliance documentation is time-consuming to build from scratch
Most SENCOs spend 30–50 hours per year creating and recreating documents that should already exist in a standard format.
MAT governance reporting lacks consistency across schools
Without a shared template, every school in your trust submits attendance data in a different format — making comparisons impossible.
Ofsted expects specific evidence — generic documents won't cut it
Inspectors know what good looks like. Documents not mapped to the SEND Code of Practice or the Inspection Framework raise immediate questions.
EHC Plan reviews are legally time-sensitive — errors carry risk
Missed annual reviews or incomplete records can trigger LA scrutiny and parent complaints, regardless of how good the provision actually is.

What Schools Are Saying
SchoolVault templates are being used by SENCOs and MAT teams across Essex, Thurrock, and East London.
“I spent two days before our last Ofsted trying to pull together SEND evidence. With SchoolVault I had everything organised in under two hours. The checklist alone is worth the price.”
“The MAT dashboard finally gives our trust consistent data across all seven schools. Our Regional Director meeting last month was the smoothest we've ever had.”
“The EHC Plan review record has transformed how we document annual reviews. Our LA case worker said it was the most complete review record she'd seen from any school in the borough.”
Meet Vince James
After spending years working alongside SENCOs and school business managers, I kept seeing the same problem: brilliant educators drowning in compliance paperwork instead of supporting pupils.
The 48-hour Ofsted notice would land, and suddenly everyone was scrambling for documents that should have been ready months ago. Checklists were outdated. EHC review records were scattered across three different systems. MAT dashboards didn't exist.
I built SchoolVault because I believe compliance shouldn't be a panic — it should be a process. Every template is mapped to the SEND Code of Practice and DfE guidance, so when inspectors ask questions, you have answers.
