SEN Assess Ltd provides high quality, standardised assessments for children and young people aged up to 18. The service is built on a commitment to accuracy, fairness and child centred practice, helping schools and families understand learners’ needs clearly and confidently.

The company is led by Chandra Wood, a qualified teacher and SENDCo with extensive experience across schools, safeguarding, multi agency working and specialist SEND leadership. Chandra holds:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) | NASENCO Award | Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing (CCET) | Registration on the RQTU (British Psychological Society)

These qualifications ensure that all assessments meet national standards for ethical testing, psychometric competence and professional conduct.

At SEN Assess Ltd, assessments are designed to provide a clear, evidence-based understanding of each learner’s individual profile. Using standardised, age-appropriate tools, we assess key areas such as reading accuracy, reading speed, comprehension, processing speed, working memory and other areas within language and SEMH.

• Each assessment results in a detailed written report that:
• Clearly explains strengths and areas of need
• Interprets standardised scores in a parent-friendly way
• Identifies any underlying barriers to learning
• Provides practical, tailored recommendations

Where appropriate, reports can support schools in applying for reasonable adjustments in line with Joint Council for Qualifications (GCSEs) and Standards and Testing Agency (SATs) guidance, including:

• Extra time
• Reader or reading technology
• Rest breaks
• Support for processing or recording difficulties

Importantly, assessments focus on identifying why a learner may be experiencing difficulty, ensuring that any recommended support is both appropriate and evidence-based.

Personalised Tuition

We offer high-quality, personalised tuition designed to meet each learner at their point of need. Sessions are carefully planned using assessment insights to target specific skills, build confidence, and accelerate progress.

Tuition may focus on:

• Literacy development (reading, spelling, comprehension)
• Maths understanding and fluency
• Study skills and exam preparation
• Closing gaps in learning
• Supporting learners with SEND, including dyslexia, ADHD, ASD and speech and language needs

All sessions are structured, supportive, and tailored, with a strong emphasis on building independence, confidence, and long-term success.
