AI for SEND and Inclusion
Intelligent tools. Human purpose.
Making AI work for inclusion
We help schools build the skills and confidence to use AI safely and ethically.
From practical staff training to tailored GPTs and inclusive planning tools, we strengthen SEND practice across classrooms and teams.
How we help
Every school wants to make learning more personal. The challenge is doing so safely, ethically, and without adding pressure to already stretched SEND teams.
We help SENDCos and learning support departments explore how AI – including custom GPTs – can be used to adapt teaching resources and create truly individualised learning experiences.
Our focus
Our work focuses on:
- Advising on safe, ethical AI use – understanding what’s possible within GDPR and safeguarding frameworks.
- Training staff to build confidence in using AI tools responsibly for differentiated planning and progress tracking.
- Designing tailored GPTs that understand a school’s language, curriculum, and SEND profiles, helping teachers generate accessible resources aligned to each student’s needs.
- Engaging parents and carers – providing guidance on how to communicate the benefits and boundaries of AI use in supporting their child’s education.
Our approach combines practical technology insight with educational sensitivity – helping schools navigate the balance between innovation, inclusion, and information security.
Supporting teachers, reducing workload
Teachers want to give every student the attention they deserve – but time, funding, and capacity often make that impossible. HarbourSpark helps schools design custom GPTs that ease this pressure by turning classroom insight into instant, tailored support. From adapting reading materials to differentiating lesson tasks, these tools allow staff to generate inclusive, accessible resources in minutes rather than hours. Each model is designed around your curriculum and pupils’ profiles, helping teachers respond to need without compromising quality, care, or compliance. The result: less time spent rewriting resources, more time for teaching and connection.
We don’t just build the tools – we train your staff to create, adapt, and use them confidently, so your school stays self-sufficient.
If your SEND team is beginning to explore how AI could support personalised learning, we can help you do it safely, thoughtfully, and with confidence.
Let’s start a conversation about what responsible AI could look like in your school.
