SEND on a Page: read the school picture and check its evidence
Student Radar helps school staff review a SEND snapshot, check which pupils and records each figure covers and where information is missing, and open permitted pupil cohorts for a closer look.
A snapshot is not a risk assessment or proof of impact. Denominators, source periods, missing data and withheld groups stay part of the picture; staff decide what to investigate next.
Whole-school review
See the SEND picture with its evidence limits intact.
Read the school’s recorded SEND cohort, need profile, attendance, reviews and provision evidence, then open the permitted pupil context for the next professional review.
01
Check the picture’s basis
Read school scope, freshness, cohort coverage and source warnings before comparing figures.
02
Investigate a specific signal
Open a permitted cohort or section and read the underlying pupil/source context rather than interpreting a count alone.
03
Make the next authorised decision
Return to the original SEND, attendance, review, provision or strategy workflow for a human-led change.
School context
Keep the headline and denominator together
SEND and whole-school totals describe different cohorts. Missing status, unavailable sources and withheld groups must not become invented zeros.
Need profile
Separate primary need from overlapping needs
Primary need counts each pupil once under the recorded primary area. Any need includes secondary areas and can overlap across rows.
Attendance basis
Read period, method and eligibility
Attendance summaries retain observation-period limits, eligible pupils and session coverage. A summary without dates is not a like-for-like Attendance comparison.
Permitted cohort
Look behind the specific count
Open the named cohort and read the actual available pupil information. Ordering uses attendance/vulnerability attention signals; risk is not included in the snapshot.
Impact limits
Keep absent evidence visible
Assessment records and provision judgements have distinct methods and coverage. No available provision projection is not a confirmed absence of support.
Phone reading
Retain the same source distinctions on a phone
Use section controls, read the complete table and source notes, then open one cohort at a time.
Keep the next decision grounded in the record
A snapshot is not a risk assessment or proof of impact. Denominators, source periods, missing data and withheld groups stay part of the picture; staff decide what to investigate next.
Investigate a signal without inventing risk or hidden membership
Keep source changes and professional judgement in their authorised workflows
Questions about SEND on a Page
Can staff move from a SEND figure to the pupils behind it?
SEND on a Page includes cohort drill-down where permitted, with routes back to source context and seven sections of school-level information.
What context can staff check behind a SEND snapshot?
The view includes source context, freshness and coverage so staff can see which pupils and records a figure covers and where information is missing before interpreting it.

The value of a connected school
A plan matters when support reaches the child.
Bring the evidence around provision into the review, so the SENCO and teaching team can decide the next step together.

Attendance + SEND
Check attendance alongside planned support
Look at absence and late arrival around provision. A pupil may have a plan in place and still miss opportunities to receive that support.

Bring progress evidence to the review
Consider recorded learning and small steps alongside targets and provision. Keep the evidence visible while staff judge what is helping and what needs another look.

Include the people who know the pupil
Gather family contributions and coordinate review conversations around the same pupil, with named actions and dates to keep the agreed work moving.
