See no-route risk before it becomes a destination problem.
A live cohort view surfaces students with weak, unclear or inactive plans, early enough to act. The at-risk flags and pathway mix exist today; the equity lens, weekly bulletin and SLT export are in development.
From who submitted to who is stuck.
A status list tells you who has filed an application. It does not tell you which Year 13s have no plan, no evidence and no one watching. The cohort view answers that question first.
- You see who submitted, not who has stalled
- The undecided students surface in February, not September
- Support depends on which tutor happens to ask
- Every student carries a pathway, a flag and a next action
- No applications, no evidence and an unfinished reference surface as named flags
- You can show who needed help and who has already had it
The at-risk view that already exists.
The cohort view groups students by why they are at risk, using the same flags the product raises today. Each flag points to a concrete next action, not a score. Staff log the intervention against the named student.
Undecided pathway, no applications
The students who have not yet recorded a post-18 route (undecided_pathway) or have a route but no live application (no_applications) sit at the top of the list, where a September conversation still changes things.
No evidence, unfinished reference
Students with an empty evidence bank (no_evidence_entries) or a reference still in draft (reference_not_finalised) are flagged so the work happens before the deadline rather than during the crunch.
Missing application document
Where a non-UCAS route needs a CV and none is recorded (no_cv_document), the gap is visible to staff. Flags name the gap; people own the response.
Pathway mix now, equity coverage next.
Because every student carries a pathway, you can already see the shape of the cohort across routes. The subgroup and equity lens that layers comparable exposure on top is on the roadmap, flagged here as in development.
Pathway mix today
126 Year 13s, split across higher education, apprenticeship, employment with training and undecided. The mix is live, so you can see where the undecided students are concentrated.
Subgroup coverage (in development)
We are building a view that asks whether 16 to 19 disadvantage, widening-participation and other groups are receiving comparable opportunity exposure and timely support. It frames equity, never surveillance.
Quality movement, not activity
Displayed measures track route recorded, evidence saved, application started and support given before a deadline. We do not count clicks or reward vanity activity.
Bulletins and the assurance export.
Two outputs are in development on top of the live cohort base. Both are built to save staff time, and neither is a current capability yet. They are written here as the roadmap, not as live features.
Weekly staff bulletin (in development)
A short Monday digest for the Head of Sixth Form: the students who moved, the new flags raised, and the handful who need action this week. Movement first, never a wall of metrics.
SLT and governor export (in development)
A termly progression report that turns the at-risk and intervention record into a governor-ready summary. Leading signal first; lagging destinations come later in the year.
Built on what is true today
Both outputs draw only on data the product already holds: pathways, flags, evidence, feedback rounds and logged interventions. The export describes process quality, not destinations or offers.
Fourteen students need action this week.
The staff view groups those students by reason, using today's real flags, with a Log intervention button against each. Alongside it sits the pathway mix across higher education, apprenticeship, employment and undecided. It reads as a control room, not a status list, and it surfaces movement rather than counting clicks.
Find the students who'll drift, while there is still time to act.
Walk through the cohort radar with your own Year 13 in mind. Bring your Head of Sixth Form, your UCAS Lead and your Careers Lead; we will show how risk surfaces and how the season looks from the control room.
