Purple for Schools

What makes Purple different?

School Trends

Purple doesn’t just track outcomes — it benchmarks each student against their wider peer group, adjusting for factors like absence and context. By comparing a student’s progress to their year group and relevant cohorts, you can clearly identify whether improvements are genuinely significant. This ensures you are measuring real impact, not just natural variation or isolated progress.

Intervention Management

Purple gives leaders a clear, single view of intervention impact across your school — from mentoring to pastoral care — alongside trends in attendance, behaviour and suspensions. Its intervention tracker helps you identify which interventions are having the greatest impact, making it easier to understand what’s most effective and cost-efficient. Purple enables faster, evidence-based decisions and more targeted support where it’s needed most.

Student Tracker

The Student Tracker is Purple’s most detailed view, giving staff a clear picture of each individual student. From attendance and behaviour trends to interventions and progress over time, it brings all the key data into one place. This allows teachers and support staff to quickly identify patterns, monitor impact and make informed decisions tailored to each student’s needs.

Benchmarked Data

Purple doesn’t just track outcomes — it benchmarks each student against their wider peer group, adjusting for factors like absence and context. By comparing a student’s progress to their year group and relevant cohorts, you can clearly identify whether improvements are genuinely significant.

Preventing Serious Issues

School suspensions in England are on track to reach the highest number ever recorded in a single year. To address this issue, effective behaviour tracking programmes, like Purple, play a crucial role in identifying and analysing students’ behaviour patterns. By monitoring both positive and negative behaviours, educators can intervene early and prevent issues from escalating into serious problems.
