Help for behaviour and pastoral leads

Behaviour trends, report cards, detentions, exclusions, on-call, support plans and rules.

  • Read behaviour trends and hotspots: Behaviour Analytics gives you a school-wide view of recorded behaviour: how incidents are changing week by week, where and when they happen, how different groups of pupils compare, and which…
  • Import behaviour data: If your school records behaviour in another system, you can bring its reports into Student Radar. You upload a report, check its dates and categories, match each row to a pupil, then publish the…
  • Put a pupil on report: A report card is a short, focused piece of support for one pupil. You choose up to five targets, the lessons in which they’re scored and a daily goal. Each day, the pupil’s coach checks in with…
  • Review, fade and close a report card: While a pupil is on report, check regularly how they’re doing against the card’s daily goal. When they’ve been meeting it consistently, you can fade the card, and when it has done its job (or is…

  • Set up the behaviour on-call rota: When a member of staff asks for behaviour on-call support, Student Radar sends the request to whoever is on the duty rota at that time. You set up the rota by placing staff in the times (or…

  • Create a behaviour support plan: An individual behaviour support plan sets out, for one pupil, what is difficult, what is likely to be behind it, and what adults will do to prevent it, teach new skills and respond consistently.…
  • Record the pupil’s views in a behaviour support plan: A behaviour support plan works best when it’s built with the pupil, not just about them. You record the pupil’s views twice: their own account of what’s difficult and what helps while you write…
