Questions Purple can help answer

Spot serious behaviour concerns before they escalate

Bring together suspension data, behaviour points and pupil-level trends to identify pupils showing repeated patterns of concern, helping leaders intervene earlier and more effectively.

Understand whether suspensions are increasing, where incidents are concentrated and which pupils are being suspended repeatedly. Purple brings rates, incidents, days lost and suspension types together so leaders can see both the scale and the educational impact.

School culture is shaped by what leaders recognise as well as what they challenge. Purple analyses positive achievement alongside negative behaviour, helping leaders understand recognition reach, positive-to-negative balance and variation across pupils, groups and schools.

Questions about analysing behaviour, achievement and suspensions

What behaviour data can Purple analyse?

Purple can analyse negative behaviour, positive achievement, suspensions and relevant pupil-group information where the required data is available.

Can Purple identify repeat suspensions?

Yes. Purple helps leaders move beyond the overall incident total to identify pupils receiving repeated suspensions.

Can Purple show days lost to suspensions?

Yes. Days-lost analysis helps leaders understand the educational time removed through suspensions across pupils, groups and schools.

Can trusts compare behaviour and suspensions across schools?

Yes. Trust leaders can compare behaviour, achievement and suspension patterns across schools using a consistent analytical view.

Does Purple analyse positive achievement?

Yes. Purple analyses positive achievement and recognition alongside negative behaviour to provide a more complete picture of school culture.

Can Purple help evaluate behaviour provisions?

Purple can connect behaviour, achievement and suspension outcomes with provision information to support analysis across relevant periods and participant groups.
