Core / Exclusions

Exclusions: keep the decision and its follow-through connected

Student Radar helps authorised school staff keep exclusion decisions, notice work, representations, reviews and return support together, with source information visible in the school log.

Authorised staff make and verify exclusion decisions. Application calculations and workflow stages do not replace professional or legal checks.

The optional stages connect the decision, notice work, education/notifications, review and return. Fictional example.

Context, explicit action and checked result

Keep exclusion decisions, evidence and return support traceable.

Read a source-labelled school log and, where enabled, work through the recorded decision, notice, representations, reviews and reintegration without merging internal records into statutory figures.

  1. 01

    Keep source, duration and uncertainty visible

    The log distinguishes MIS records from Student Radar cases and displays the recorded date and duration basis.

  2. 02

    Record internal arrangements separately

    Explicit pupil selection, school times and reason describe the on-site arrangement without entering statutory counts.

  3. 03

    Read the log on a phone

    Check the full row and scroll to the date, duration and origin before drawing a conclusion.

A traceable case with its next work visible

Keep the response understandable to the staff who must review it next.

A record that can be reconciled

Source labels, recorded periods and explicit MIS links help staff identify which record needs verification or correction.

Follow-through visible beyond the decision

Notice evidence, representations, reviews and reintegration actions remain connected to the case and its lifecycle.

Separate records interpreted accurately

Internal practice, statutory cases, estimated durations and limited extracts retain their distinct meanings.

Questions about Exclusions

Are internal suspensions recorded separately?

Yes. Internal/on-site suspension is a separate school-practice record from the statutory-case workflow. The log also identifies where records came from.

Can an exclusion case retain notice and return-support work?

A Student Radar case keeps the recorded decision, notice work, representations, reviews and return support connected, while the log retains record source information.

The value of a connected school

See the pattern. Bring the context.

A change in attendance or behaviour is the start of a conversation. The connected pupil record helps staff ask a better next question.

Follow a connection to see what it makes possible

Relevant context, with access set by each staff member’s role and responsibilities. Staff decide the response.

  1. SEND + Core

    Check whether support is reaching the pupil

    Put attendance and behaviour alongside plans, provision and review evidence. Staff can investigate missed support before deciding what needs to change.

  2. Health + Core

    Bring health needs into the attendance conversation

    Authorised staff can check relevant medical needs and care plans when following up absence, then agree practical support with the family.

    Explore health
  3. Family communication + Core

    Keep the family conversation with the follow-up

    Read the contact history around a pupil before reaching out. Record the next action so another colleague can pick up the conversation with context.
