Educational research & evaluation platform
A personalised discussion focused on your project, methodology, reporting needs and evaluation goals.
What is Purple?
Purple brings participant tracking, surveys, programme monitoring, educational outcomes and impact evaluation together in one secure platform, helping research teams generate cleaner data, reduce reporting burden and produce stronger evidence.
Data Collection. Evaluation. Evidence. Insight.
One connected platform.
Educational research at scale
Educational research projects rarely depend on a single dataset. Schools, participants, surveys, programme delivery, educational outcomes and reporting requirements must all be managed consistently throughout the project. When these processes sit across disconnected systems and spreadsheets, research teams can spend valuable time reconciling information rather than analysing and learning from it.
Monitor which settings have joined, completed onboarding and supplied the information required for the project.
Maintain accurate records across participants, delivery groups and comparison groups throughout the research lifecycle.
Coordinate baseline, midpoint and endpoint data collection across pupils, staff and other stakeholder groups.
Bring attendance, behaviour, achievement, suspension and demographic information into the evaluation process.
Identify outstanding information, inconsistencies and gaps before they create problems within the final dataset.
Prepare structured datasets and clearer project information without repeatedly rebuilding reports from disconnected sources.
Purple brings these connected research activities into one secure environment, helping teams reduce administration while improving the consistency of the evidence collected.
Monitor participation more effectively
Keep registrations, engagement and attendance visible in one programme view.
Understand educational outcomes
Connect participation with attendance, behaviour, achievement and inclusion insight.
Produce stronger evidence
Bring delivery, feedback and outcomes together for funders and school partners.
Improve programme design
Use connected insight to understand what is working and where adjustments may be needed.
Support funder reporting
Create clearer reporting conversations without relying on disconnected evidence sources.
Demonstrate impact with confidence
Move beyond participation numbers toward a richer understanding of outcomes and change.
Purple has been accepted onto the Education Endowment Foundation’s Data Collection Panel, supporting evaluators and research teams that require reliable, scalable education data collection. Purple helps research projects securely manage school onboarding, surveys, data collection, cohort management, evaluator exports and project reporting within one connected environment. This reflects Purple’s focus on reducing operational burden while helping teams collect consistent, high-quality data for evaluation.
Research data journey
Monitor recruitment, onboarding and participation across every setting involved in the project.
Collect information consistently from schools, participants and stakeholders.
Combine educational outcomes, participant information and survey responses into one connected dataset.
Create stronger evidence, clearer reporting and cleaner outputs for research teams, funders and evaluators.
Flexible pricing for research projects
Pricing is tailored to the scale of the project, the number of participating settings and the data collection, survey, reporting and evaluation support required.
Number of participating schools or settings · Number of participants · Survey and questionnaire requirements · Data collection scope · Reporting complexity · Evaluation requirements
Project setup · School onboarding · Participation monitoring · Survey administration · Education data collection · Structured reporting · Evaluator exports · Training and ongoing support
No fixed packages or hidden add-ons. We’ll scope Purple around the evidence your research project needs to generate.
Purple also supports schools and educational organisations with connected data, participation tracking, surveys and impact evaluation—making it easier to align project evidence with the day-to-day context of delivery.
