Senso.cloud

Senso.cloud is a cloud-based platform from Senso, a UK company, that provides remote monitoring and management for schools, combining network management, classroom management, safeguarding and asset management in one product. Education IT teams must look after large fleets of devices, support teachers in controlling what students do on screens during lessons, and meet statutory safeguarding duties to identify pupils who may be at risk, often with limited staff and budgets. Senso.cloud addresses these needs through a single agent and web console, removing the need to run separate tools for each function. Its cloud-first approach means schools can manage devices on site or at home without on-premise servers, which has become increasingly relevant as remote and hybrid learning have expanded and multi-academy trusts seek consistent control across several schools. This consolidation can reduce licensing costs and simplify training for staff who would otherwise need to learn several separate systems, while giving leadership a unified view of device usage and safeguarding activity across the school or trust.

Classroom management features allow teachers to view student screens, lock devices, share their own screen, launch or block websites and applications, and send messages during lessons. Safeguarding tools monitor keystrokes and on-screen content against keyword libraries covering areas such as self-harm, radicalisation, bullying and grooming, capturing screenshots and alerting designated safeguarding leads so concerns can be reviewed and escalated. Network and remote management capabilities include inventory tracking of hardware and software, remote control for technical support, power management and application deployment. Asset management provides an overview of devices across the estate. The platform supports Windows, macOS and Chromebooks and is designed to align with UK guidance such as Keeping Children Safe in Education. Target customers are primary and secondary schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts, primarily in the UK. Pricing starts from around GBP 1.50, typically per device, with a free trial; there is no permanently free version.
