A straight comparison for SENCOs

Looking for a Tes Provision Map alternative?

It's not the software. It's what it asks of you.

Provision Map, originally built by Edukey and now part of Tes, has been the default SEND software in UK schools for over a decade. It is a capable provision mapping tool with a large installed base. If you are reading this page, something about it is no longer working for your school, or you are reviewing options before renewal.

The short version: Provision Map was built to map provision. Senflow was built to run the whole SEND workflow. EHCPs, annual reviews, interventions and reporting in one connected process, with free onboarding so your SENCO's first login is a working system.

The differences that matter in practice

The work happens in the platform. Reviews are prepared, held and recorded where the provision and outcomes already live. The evidence writes itself as a by-product of the work, not an admin job afterwards.

‍Provision links to outcomes. Every provision connects to an EHCP outcome or IEP target, and each logged session builds the impact picture. "Is it working?" has an answer you can show a parent, a governor or an inspector.

‍Onboarding is done for you, free. Our team sets up your EHCPs, support plans and provisions before you start. With any supplier, ask who types in three years of records and what it costs.
