What Spiro is
Spiro is a web-based platform for primary schools managing special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) administration. It helps SENCOs and school staff create individual support plans from uploaded plans, notes or reports, and supports termly AI-assisted progress reviews. Its EHCP workflows connect outcomes and statutory provision to pupil plans, and can draft needs assessment applications in local authority formats. Schools can use their own templates, choose evidence, edit AI-assisted drafts and export documents as Word files or PDFs. Spiro also maps interventions by pupil, group, timetable slot and cost, with AI suggestions for interventions and adjustments. Reports generated from live plan data can support Ofsted, governor and Inclusion Strategies reporting. The pricing page says MIS data syncs daily through Wonde and lists multi-factor authentication. Spiro says personal data it controls is kept on UK servers, with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest among its security measures. Plans start at £500 /yr; the first term is offered risk-free, with no payment if a school decides not to continue.
