SEN Statuses of N, E and K

This article explains the different SEN statuses (N, E, K) used to categorize students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) for reporting and census purposes. It details how each status corresponds to specific codes and emphasizes the importance of proper categorization for accurate SEN statistics.

To record a student as a student with SEN, you need to give them an SEN Status. They will then appear as a student with SEN for reporting, and on the list of students with SEN.

You can see how to add an SEN status here: Adding SEN (Special Educational Need) for a student

For the Census, these statuses correspond to different codes that are output in the census:

• Education, Health and Care Plan - E
• Monitoring - N
• No Special Educational Need - N
• SEN Support - K

If no SEN status is set, this will also be output as N in the census.

It is not possible to add additional custom SEN Statuses.

Any students with SEN statuses that map to N are not counted as students with SEN, and so will be excluded from SEN statistics.

Statement (S) Sen Status code

The Statement SEN Status (output as the S code) is no longer in use.

If you have any students with this SEN Status, you should change this to another status.
