Student Radar comparison
Compare what happens after the pattern shows up.
Tes describes Class Charts as a classroom tool for two-click behaviour recording, points, seating plans, detentions, homework and parent and student apps. Student Radar also records behaviour and points, then keeps patterns, support plans and report cards beside attendance, SEND, safeguarding and health information, so a pastoral lead can agree the next step with that context.
Comparison checked against public product information on . Student Radar coverage is self-reported and should be tested in a demo.
Likely fit
01 / Tes Class Charts
Tes Class Charts may suit a school that wants fast classroom behaviour recording, points, seating plans, detentions, digital registers, homework and parent and student apps in one teacher-facing tool.
Strong in teacher and classroom workflows. Tes positions safeguarding case management in MyConcern and SEND plans in Provision Map, and describes the Connected Insights links between the three as forthcoming.
02 / Student Radar
Student Radar may suit a school where a behaviour pattern leads to a support plan or report card that is reviewed with attendance, SEND, safeguarding and health context by the staff who own the response.
Student Radar is not an MIS replacement. Core statutory roll, census, finance, and timetable administration should still sit in the school MIS.
This page does not suggest Class Charts is weak at behaviour management. Its classroom speed, seating plans, detentions and parent and student apps are why a school may choose it. The comparison is about what happens once a pattern needs a plan, a report card and a review. In either system staff decide the response; the software holds the record and shows the pattern.

How the workflow differs
Tes Class Charts public path
Class Charts records behaviour in the lesson, applies points, can create detentions from recorded incidents and alerts staff when behaviour thresholds are met. Its analytics help staff spot patterns. Tes positions safeguarding case management in MyConcern and SEND plans in Provision Map, and describes Connected Insights links between the three as forthcoming.
Student Radar operating path
Stack and price
Both products record behaviour, so running both means deciding which one teachers use in the lesson and which holds the plan and its review. Class Charts also covers seating plans, homework and detentions. Tes does not publish a Class Charts price, so ask both suppliers to quote for the same scope.
