Student Radar comparison
See what changes when SEND isn't a separate silo.
Tes Provision Map is a specialist SEND product. Student Radar takes a different approach: provision, plans and outcomes sit with relevant attendance, behaviour, safeguarding, health and family context, so evidence can become owned work and review around the pupil.
Comparison checked against public product information on . Student Radar coverage is self-reported and should be tested in a demo.
Likely fit
01 / Tes Provision Map
Tes Provision Map may suit a school principally looking for specialist SEND provision management, learning plans, pupil passports and review evidence.
Tes is developing Connected Insights links with Class Charts and MyConcern. Its current public centre of gravity remains SEND provision and learning plans rather than one native workflow across every pupil-support domain.
02 / Student Radar
Student Radar may suit a school looking to connect SEND provision with wider pupil context, cross-team action, communication and leadership oversight.
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 that Tes Provision Map is weak at provision mapping. Its specialist SEND depth is exactly why a school may choose it; the comparison is about the wider operating model around that record.

How the workflow differs
Tes Provision Map public path
Tes Provision Map is designed to hold the SEND provision, learning-plan and review evidence. Tes also presents Connected Insights as a route for bringing selected Class Charts and MyConcern context into that view.

Stack and price
A specialist provision product can remain the right choice. The commercial question is whether the school also pays for separate attendance, behaviour, safeguarding, health and communication tools, and how reliably work crosses those boundaries.
