Overview

Description

EP is the leading tool for measuring and benchmarking engagement across the whole school community, capturing how pupils, employees, families, leaders and governors think, feel and act in relation to school. Its central principle is one of equity: whole-school averages conceal as much as they reveal, and engagement is not experienced equally across groups. TEP is built to surface precisely where it diverges, supporting schools to meet the 2026 White Paper expectation that every school monitor belonging and engagement by 2029. Inclusion is measured directly as a validated engagement driver (under Professor John Jerrim, UCL), not inferred. The platform enables granular analysis by FSM eligibility, SEN, EAL, ethnicity, gender, attendance band and term of birth - all benchmarked nationally - so leaders can identify which specific groups are driving a result and target resources accordingly. Three features make this actionable: APC model (Advocate, Passive, Challenger): reveals the spread of engagement behind a score, exposing polarised cultures a comfortable average would hide. "Schools like me": contextual peer-grouping matches each school to others with a comparable FSM rate, EAL proportion and phase, ensuring schools serving disadvantaged communities are compared fairly. Context is not destiny: TEP's evidence shows the most disadvantaged schools can sustain engagement above national trajectories, giving leaders confidence that targeted action changes outcomes. The service spans four modules - Pupils, Employees, Families, and Leadership & Governance - with anonymised reporting and minimum thresholds to protect individuals. Every partner receives a dedicated Community Engagement Lead, structured onboarding, termly data review calls and access to TEP's national research base on engagement and disadvantage. Delivery runs across three fixed census windows annually (Autumn, Spring, Summer), with first data collected within four to six weeks. Reporting serves every audience, from SLT to governance.
