School trip planning, consent and field registers
Student Radar helps school teams plan visits, agree approvals and organise people, consent and practical arrangements. The field register supports the day, followed by recorded outcomes, owned learning actions and closure; approval or payment alone does not make a trip ready to depart.
School staff authorise the visit and its exceptions. Approval, family replies, payment and departure readiness remain distinct.
School and family work
From a clear plan to a reviewed next step
Plan the visit, organise consent and practical arrangements, then carry the register and review through the day.
01
Keep the people and groups clear
Review the actual pupil roster and adult assignments alongside capacity and the school staffing rules. A group assignment does not grant full access to a pupil record.
02
Read the decision behind each reply
The consent workspace distinguishes granted, declined and outstanding requests. If the terms change, families must make a new decision.
03
Take a current register into the day
Use checkpoints and separate headcount states. Review whether a copy is saved to this phone and sync queued marks when the connection returns.

Questions about Trips
Can we connect trip planning with consent and the field register?
Yes. Trips connects visit planning, people and consent with the permitted register and safety information used on the day.
Can we record learning actions and closure after the visit?
Yes. After the trip, record what happened, agreed learning actions and the closure decision through their separate controls.

The value of a connected school
The message is one part of the pupil’s day.
Family communication becomes more useful when the information, response and next school action stay connected.
