What is Senso Classroom Management?

School classroom management grounded in more than two decades of education technology

Senso Classroom Management gives teachers real-time visibility of every student device in their class and the ability to act on what they see, lock screens, push a message, restrict to a specific website, run a Quick Question comprehension check or share their screen, all from a single toolbar.

Unlike classroom management tools built on top of existing platforms, Senso has developed and refined classroom management for more than two decades. IT teams configure which features each teacher can access. Multi-school role delegation allows trust IT administrators, school IT admins and class teachers to each have their own view and permissions.

Why IT teams choose Senso
  • Centralised permissions

    IT controls which teachers can use which features. Enable lock, restrict messaging, or limit monitoring to specific cohorts, all from the central admin console.

  • Cross-platform coverage

    Chromebook, Windows, macOS and iOS. One deployment, one management console, one policy framework across every device type.

  • Multi-school role delegation

    Trust IT administrators, school IT admins and class teachers each have their own permissions and visibility.

  • Integrations with your existing stack

    Microsoft Entra ID, Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams and ClassLink integrations, where current. Contact Senso to confirm current availability.

  • Classroom and IT in one platform

    Classroom management, safeguarding, filtering and IT operations all run on the same platform, agent and identity foundation.

  • Audit and reporting

    Full audit trail of classroom sessions, policy changes and access across all schools.

IT administration

IT sets the policy. Teachers work within it.

Senso gives IT administrators a centralised permission console to determine exactly which classroom features each teacher role can access. Enable screen monitoring and locking for all teachers; restrict remote assistance to IT staff; limit website controls to heads of year. Policy is enforced automatically when teachers open Senso.

Substitute teacher access is handled without IT involvement. When a cover teacher opens a class, Senso applies the correct policy for that school and role automatically.

Multi-school trusts can delegate administration: trust IT sets the master policy, school IT admins customise within it, and teachers see only what they are permitted to use. Exam configurations can be locked centrally for assessment periods.

Collect Files

Collect work from the whole class, without email or shared drives

Collect Files lets teachers request and receive files from selected students or an entire class in one organised location. Work arrives in a teacher-accessible folder, labelled by student, without the usual friction of email attachments, shared-drive administration or asking students to submit through a learning platform.

Teachers can collect at the end of a lesson, during a timed task, or as part of an exam or assessment session. Collected files stay associated with the student and the session, making review straightforward.

Senso Scenes

Reusable classroom and exam configurations

Senso Scenes let teachers and IT teams save a named set of classroom rules, website restrictions, application policies, lock state, permitted tools, and apply the entire configuration in one click. A "Year 11 Exam" scene applies the right controls instantly; a "Reading lesson" scene reopens approved sites and lifts restrictions.

IT teams configure which scenes are available and which settings teachers can adjust. Scenes reduce the chance of teachers applying incorrect settings under time pressure, and give IT a consistent baseline for assessment periods.

  • Save and name any combination of classroom controls as a Scene
  • Apply a complete set of rules in one click
  • Exam mode: lock browsers, restrict applications, apply message
  • Reading mode: approved sites only, no social or gaming access
  • IT-managed scene library with teacher-adjustable parameters
  • Consistent policy across all classrooms and substitute teachers
