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. "Help me write this" turns rough notes into a clearer draft to use or dismiss, and keeps the child's words in quotation marks exactly as written. Pupils, parents and anyone else can report through the school's link or QR code, named or anonymously. | 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 | In-app and email, or a daily summary at 07:00, set for each role along with which concerns alert it. Emails never say which pupil or what happened, and an urgent concern nobody has opened after 2 hours is flagged. Coming soon: text messages. | On-call and alerts. |
| SEND, behaviour, attendance and health | The SEND register with each pupil's need, stage and classroom adjustments. Behaviour incidents, achievements, detentions and suspensions from your MIS, or added by hand. Attendance with five warning rules and a first-day-call list, and health records. All included in Safeguard. Coming soon: provision maps, plan and EHCP documents, and behaviour reports for parents. | 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, category suggestions and answers from your own policies, on a model your school controls, inside Pupil Protect or on your own server. Off until your school switches it on, and only for roles you allow. A person checks everything. Coming soon: drafts of SEND plans, reviews and EHCP needs assessment requests. | Optional AI features, switched on by your school. |
| MIS | Arbor, Bromcom, SIMS, iSAMS, ScholarPack, Facility CMIS, Double First Engage, RM Integris, Progresso, Pupil Asset, SchoolBase, PASS and SchoolPod. Synced four times a school day and overnight. | Through Wonde. No MIS is named. |
| Where data is kept | UK data centres, including backups. AI runs inside Pupil Protect or on your school's own server, never on an outside AI service. | 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. Coming soon: importing your records from your old system, included in the price. | Published. £4.25 per pupil a year, minimum £250, excluding VAT, with volume discounts. All nine modules included. |
| Leaving | Print any pupil's chronology or concern, and download pupils, cases and reports as CSV, at any time at no extra cost. Coming soon: one export of every record and document. | 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. Coming soon: importing from a Student Radar export.
We use Student Radar for SEND too. Do we lose that?
No. Pupil Protect covers SEND, behaviour, attendance and health too. SEND needs, behaviour and attendance sync from your MIS where it holds them. Coming soon: importing the rest of your Student Radar records.
