Is Your School Built For all Your Learners?

3 Step
Accessibility Solution For Your School

Step 1: Discovery Call

We begin with a friendly call to learn about your school, your students, and the challenges you face.

Step 2: Site Assessment + Custom Designs

We create a bespoke plan that combines our universal wayfinding system with any custom designs or tactile signage your learners may need.

Step 3: Installation + Training

We install during holidays or quiet hours with no drilling or disruption. Staff are trained to confidently support learners from day one.

Common Questions, Answered

  • Many schools rely on DIY solutions like coloured tape, wooden rails, or intensive 1:1 support which often fall short, cost staff time, and don’t meet all learners’ needs.

    Sensei offers a low-tech, high-impact alternative: a universally designed tactile system that’s intuitive for learners, easy to install, and helps your school meet its Equality Act 2010 obligations without major renovations. It’s a smart, sustainable way to build a calmer, more accessible environment for everyone.

  • Sensei is designed with input from OTs, VI advisors, and SEN educators — tailored to support students with visual impairments, autism, ADHD, anxiety, and cognitive needs.

  • Costs depend on your school’s layout and needs. We always begin with a free consultation and offer scalable options to fit your budget.

  • Yes. We’re currently running a 10-school pilot project supported by Innovate UK till end of 2025. If your school qualifies, we can cover up to 30% of the total cost through this programme. We’ll guide you through the process and help you make the most of available funding.

  • We’ll send you a one-pager, presentation deck, and case study pack. We’re also happy to join your leadership or SENCO meeting virtually to answer questions.

Accessibility Must extend Beyond the Classroom

Students with visual impairments, autism, ADHD, anxiety, or cognitive needs often struggle with wayfinding and sensory overload. When corridors, toilets, and shared spaces are not accessible, it affects confidence, independence, and well being.
