What is Purple?

One platform for trust-wide visibility

Purple is a purpose-built, cloud-based platform that brings trust and school-level data together in one place, helping trust leaders compare outcomes consistently, identify emerging issues earlier and make more confident decisions across every school.

No spreadsheets. No reporting infrastructure.

No disconnected systems. Just one clear view across your trust.

The challenges MATs face

Trust-wide accountability needs trust-wide visibility.

Trust leaders need to compare schools consistently, identify where support is needed, evidence impact for trustees and make confident decisions for trust reviews, school improvement reviews and strategic planning.

✓ Multiple schools

✓ Multiple data sources

✓ One clear view

A smarter investment

Don’t just improve reporting. Reduce costs.

Purple helps trusts replace fragmented reporting processes, reduce reliance on multiple systems and avoid the cost of developing and maintaining in-house dashboards. Rather than investing time and budget into data infrastructure, trusts can focus resources on school improvement and student outcomes.

Avoid dashboard development

No Power BI development projects, external consultants or ongoing dashboard maintenance.

Consolidate systems

Reduce reliance on multiple reporting, provision and analysis tools across your trust by bringing everything into one platform.

Save staff time

Automate reporting and evidence collection so leaders spend less time preparing data and more time acting on it.

One platform. Multiple savings.

Reduce software costs, technical overhead, reporting workload and duplicated effort across your trust while strengthening accountability and evidence.

Trust-wide visibility

From trust-wide trends to individual pupil insight.

Purple helps trust leaders see the bigger picture across every school while giving them the ability to drill down into the detail. Start with trust-wide trends, explore individual schools, then investigate the data behind any pupil or provision.

Monitor every school

View performance, attendance, behaviour, inclusion and provisions across the entire trust.

Investigate with confidence

Move seamlessly from trust dashboards into individual school data to understand what is driving trends.

Support pupils effectively

Access detailed pupil profiles, provision histories and outcomes when deeper insight is needed.
