Pupil Protect vs Student Radar
Student Radar is a pupil support system that covers safeguarding alongside SEND, attendance, behaviour and health. Pupil Protect covers the same ground, all on one chronology.
Both go beyond safeguarding. The differences are in how each record works and how it’s priced.

Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | Student Radar |
|---|---|---|
| Logging a concern | Any adult in school, in a couple of minutes. Writing help can tidy rough notes, and never changes the child's words in quotation marks. Pupils can add worries themselves, and anyone can report anonymously by QR code. | Staff record concerns as they notice them, with the detail the DSL needs to decide. |
| The chronology | Every concern, action, contact, meeting and document, in order. A family timeline puts brothers' and sisters' chronologies side by side. | An accountable chronology. |
| Body maps | Numbered markers on a body map. Children's injuries are never photographed. | Not stated publicly. |
| Alerts | The DSL group is alerted by in-app notification, email or text, and the concern shows who has opened it. Emails and texts show only the category. | On-call and alerts. |
| SEND, behaviour, attendance and health | The SEND register, support plans and EHCPs, provision maps and reviews, behaviour incidents, rewards, consequences, detentions and reports for parents, plus attendance and health records. All on the child's chronology and included in Safeguard. | Nine modules, including SEND, attendance, behaviour and health. |
| Trust view | Insight, counts only, included for trusts. | Priorities across a trust. |
| AI | Writing help, suggested next steps, and drafts of SEND plans, reviews and EHCP needs assessment requests, on GPT-6 through Azure OpenAI in a UK region. A person approves everything. | Optional AI features, switched on by your school. |
| MIS | Arbor, Bromcom, SIMS, iSAMS, IRIS Ed:gen, Compass, ScholarPack, Facility CMIS, Double First Engage, WCBS, RM Integris and Juniper Horizons. | Through Wonde. No MIS is named. |
| Where data is kept | UK data centres, including backups and AI processing. | The main pupil database is in London. |
| Certification | None yet. We're working towards certification. | Cyber Essentials. |
| Price | Published on our pricing page. One price a year per school, based on roll, excluding VAT. No set-up fees, and moving your records is included. | Published. £4.25 per pupil a year, minimum £250, excluding VAT, with volume discounts. All nine modules included. |
| Leaving | Export every record and document in a standard format at any time, at no extra cost. | Data returned or deleted within 30 days of the contract ending. |

When Student Radar may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose Student Radar.
- You want one per-pupil price that covers every module.
- You're a small school and want a low minimum price.
Moving from Student Radar
We bring your records across and your DSL checks them before anything goes live.
Can we get our records out of Student Radar?
Its data processing agreement says live data is returned or deleted within 30 days of the contract ending, so ask for your export before then. [Confirm which Student Radar export formats we import]
We use Student Radar for SEND too. Do we lose that?
No. Pupil Protect covers SEND, behaviour, attendance and health too, so those records can come across with your safeguarding records. [Confirm what SEND, behaviour and health records we import]
