Education impact evaluation & programme analytics platform
For programme managers, delivery leads, impact teams, funders and school partners.
What is Purple?
Flows
Participation data is often fragmented
Registers, attendance records, engagement measures and programme information often sit across separate systems.
Reporting takes significant time
Preparing reports for funders, commissioners, schools and trustees can require substantial manual effort.
Survey data lives separately from outcome data
Participant and stakeholder feedback can be hard to connect with programme outcomes.
Stronger evidence is increasingly expected
Funders increasingly want more than participation figures. They want evidence of change.
Why organisations choose Purple
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.
What our partners say…
Measuring what matters
Hear how School of Hard Knocks uses Purple to track engagement and evidence the impact of its programmes across England, Wales and Scotland.
Purple has become an essential part of how we deliver and oversee our programmes. It gives us real-time insight into school engagement, attendance and the day-to-day progress of our young people, all in one place. This level of visibility means our delivery staff can respond quickly to what students need, and our leadership team can act quickly and effectively because the data is clear, consistent and easy to interpret. The platform has strengthened the way we work across regions, and the support from the Purple team has been outstanding.
Torran Macdougall
Purple has been invaluable for us in tracking student progress across key school engagement outcomes like attendance, giving us clear reporting and allowing us to benchmark outcomes against other students in one place. The platform is very user friendly and used organisation-wide, from delivery staff to management. The Purple team are a pleasure to work with and are consistently responsive to questions and ways to improve the platform.

Programme participation & outcomes
Purple goes beyond session registers, helping organisations connect participation, engagement and programme reach with outcomes over time.
Purple establishes a robust starting point using historical attendance, behaviour, achievement and vulnerability data.
This creates a meaningful baseline that reflects where each student was before support began, ensuring future progress is measured fairly and accurately.
As support is delivered, Purple analyses how outcomes evolve over time, from term to term, year to year.
Progress is measured against each student’s baseline to identify meaningful movement rather than simple changes in raw data.
Purple continuously re-evaluates outcomes using the latest available data, even after participation has ended.
Every day, advanced statistical models assess whether improvements are being sustained and whether positive outcomes are likely to be linked to the programme rather than natural variation.
Analysis begins before participation and continues for as long as new outcome data is available.
Raw data rarely tells the full story.
Attendance levels, starting points and wider contextual factors can significantly influence outcomes. Purple accounts for these variables through advanced benchmarking and statistical modelling, providing a more accurate reflection of programme effectiveness.
Attendance is incorporated into the analysis to account for differences in participation and opportunity, creating fairer comparisons between students.
Purple compares outcomes against statistically similar students who are not receiving the provision. This helps distinguish genuine programme impact from changes that may have occurred naturally over time.
Impact is recalculated every day as new information becomes available, allowing organisations to monitor whether improvements are sustained over the long term.
