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

What should leaders see on a whole-school dashboard?
Leaders need clear trends and priorities, plus the ability to drill down into cohorts and individual pupils when action is required.
Does this replace our MIS?
No. Student Radar focuses on visibility and intervention workflows. MIS platforms remain the system of record for core admin.
Is the dashboard inclusion-focused?
Yes. The goal is to surface need early and support coordinated action, not just to generate end-of-term reports.
