PAGS vs Class Charts

Class Charts tracks behaviour.
‍PAGS assesses need, and builds the SEND evidence behind it.

Class Charts is a whole-school behaviour, seating plan and rewards tool, with a SEND flag that links out to Tes Provision Map for plans. It doesn't include a developmental assessment or EHCP automation. PAGS assesses across 4 developmental domains and builds targets, provision mapping and EHCP evidence from the same data, in one subscription.

↗PAGS doesn't replace behaviour tracking. It adds the assessment, targets and EHCP evidence a behaviour-and-seating tool was never built to cover.

TRUSTED ALONGSIDE CLASS CHARTS

SENCos use PAGS to turn behaviour data into evidence

Instead of seeing three children a day because of all the different hurdles we used to go through, I can now see up to five students a day. Before, interventions were not being recorded. Now the whole school is doing them.
