The strongest fit

Best fit

Schools that want inclusion, pastoral, SEND, attendance, and safeguarding teams to work from shared pupil context without replacing the core MIS.

A clear boundary

Where this is not the right tool

Connected school work

Built for the way schools actually work

Schools searching for “school inclusion dashboard” usually need clarity, prioritisation, and a way to move from insight to action without adding another spreadsheet.

Operational outcomes this workflow is designed to support

  1. 01

    Earlier, better-informed conversations about pupils who may need support

  2. 02

    Shared priorities across teams without exposing unrestricted sensitive detail

  3. 03

    A visible route from emerging need to action, provision, and review

Product intent only; these are not presented as verified customer outcome claims.

What this is designed for

Signals explain their contributing evidence and confidence

Role-aware access keeps sensitive context within authorised routes

Actions, plans, and reviews stay connected to the pupil picture

How it works in practice

01

Notice the pattern

Begin with a live view of the school, then focus by cohort or pupil when something needs a closer look.

  • Compare attendance bands and risk coverage
  • Refocus by cohort, year group, or concern level
  • See data gaps rather than treating missing evidence as reassurance
02

Understand the child behind it

Open the pupil profile to inspect the evidence, history, and authorised context contributing to the current picture.

  • Explainable contributing signals
  • Confidence and missingness made visible
  • Relevant SEND, safeguarding, health, behaviour, and attendance context
03

Coordinate the next step

Keep the action, owner, provision, and review route connected so the insight leads somewhere useful.

  • Assign clear owners and dates
  • Connect plans and provision
  • Review what changed without rebuilding the story

Workflow differences worth reviewing

Use these product capability descriptions as a procurement checklist against the tools and processes you already use.

Compared with separate dashboards

  • Keeps the pupil and next action close to the pattern
  • Reduces repeated exports and reconciliation between teams
  • Shows the evidence behind the signal rather than only a headline

Compared with a single risk score

  • Makes contributing evidence and uncertainty visible
  • Supports professional enquiry rather than automated decisions
  • Keeps sensitive detail controlled by role and purpose

In their words

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.

The practical questions

FAQs

01

What is an inclusion dashboard?

An inclusion dashboard brings key pupil support signals into one place so leaders can see risk, gaps, and priorities quickly, then coordinate the right support across teams.

02

Does it cover SEND, attendance, behaviour, and safeguarding?

Yes, and it also connects relevant health, assessment, teaching, communication, and leadership workflows. Access remains role-aware, so a shared platform does not mean unrestricted access to every record.

03

Does Student Radar decide which pupils are at risk?

No. Signals help staff notice patterns and inspect the evidence behind them. School staff remain responsible for interpretation, professional judgement, and every decision about support.

04

Can teams move from the dashboard into action?

Yes. Staff can move into the relevant pupil workflow, assign actions, connect plans or provision, and keep review dates visible without losing the original context.

05

How is sensitive information protected?

Student Radar uses role-aware permissions and authorised routes so staff see the information their responsibilities require, while safeguarding and health detail remains controlled.
