Approved practitioner evidence
A practitioner view of the platform
“Built from the point of view of school leaders and teachers, not IT departments. It takes what would normally be an hour of spreadsheet work and makes it available in seconds — it reduces workload rather than adding to it.”

FAQs
How is this different from a MIS attendance report?
MIS reports capture marks. Student Radar is built around intervention: spotting patterns earlier, prioritising caseloads, and supporting consistent next steps.
Can we view attendance by group and demographic?
Yes. The attendance dashboards include breakdowns that help you see gaps and target support effectively.
Does it support an intervention framework?
Yes. Attendance Playbooks provides an evidence-led structure so teams can apply the right level of support at the right time.
