Helping schools improve pupil outcomes and build sustainable working cultures using robust staff engagement data.
Boost school employee engagement
Does your annual staff survey really make your team feel listened to? Can you identify your employees as 'advocates', 'challengers' and 'passives', and respond to their feedback accordingly? Can you pinpoint your school's USP to boost recruitment?
Replace your annual staff feedback survey with The Engagement Platform to understand your employee engagement baseline (and measure progress every term), understand key action areas to best support your team, and build sustainable school cultures.
Why participate?
Understand your workforce and how to boost engagement.
The Engagement Platform (TEP) is designed by academics and former teachers to help school and MAT leaders understand recruitment challenges and forge better staff outcomes.
By using TEP, you'll gain meaningful insights compared to a live national benchmark, which can drive prioritisation and clear action planning — enabling you to make effective, sustainable improvements across your setting.
Start building sustainable working cultures in your setting through meaningful and actionable staff engagement data.
“We’ve had a great experience partnering with TEP. Throughout the pilot it’s been simple to use and easy to engage our staff with. We really appreciate the thoughtful and pragmatic approach, rooted in research and the genuine desire to build the service shaped around the needs of school leaders like me. TEP data is now a key part of our decision-making process as we strive to build an outstanding working environment for our teachers and school staff.”

Not a quick fix but a sustained practice
The TEP cycle
Forget the annual staff survey: TEP supports schools in participating in a meaningful cycle of feedback and action throughout the academic year.
Collect data:
Automatically collect responses from your team via the TEP platform in half-termly census windows. Access support resources and live tracking to secure high response rates from your team. Individuals remain anonymous with data redacted for small groups.Action plan:
Data automatically populates your TEP dashboard, highlighting headline scores and overall trends. Compare your scores to the benchmarks, pinpointing areas to celebrate success or direct action. Leaders can analyse data by department, experience, or role, providing actionable insight.Share and act:
Respond to anonymous comments directly through the platform. Leadership teams can use the resources provided to review data and plan dissemination to their teams. Take inspiration from the trend insights and case studies from the TEP community. Download tailored reports for trustees, governors, Ofsted, leadership teams, and all staff.
“The TEP team has been invaluable in supporting the analysis process so we could drill down into the data and make informed choices, using an evidence based approach.”

“We wanted that comparison. We always thought our figures were good...but we didn't know and couldn't prove it. We wanted something that was more rigorous in it's approach and that is what TEP has given us.”
