• Our Mission: The Engagement Platform exists to support schools and trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve the engagement of pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders. 

TEP exists to support schools and trusts to easily, robustly and systematically understand and improve school 
engagement. As a platform, TEP captures and reports on engagement across various dimensions and 
stakeholder groups: pupils and students, parents and carers, employees and community stakeholders. TEP 
helps schools to understand and act on this data. The platform's ability to track changes over time enables 
schools to measure the impact of their interventions, ensuring that their engagement strategies are effective 
and adjusted as needed. This action-oriented approach ensures that school engagement is not simply a metric 
or backward-looking accountability tool, it is core to school improvement.

evidence base around school engagement as a lead indicator. Our research unit provides national insights and 
research publications to support school level insight and build better sector understanding of school employee

practice examples to support their practice. 

TEP was founded by the Directors of ImpactEd Group and is incubated by the Group, receiving operational 
and governance support from Group Services. ImpactEd Group supports education and purpose-driven 
organisations to maximise their potential. We do this by helping our partners to be consistently impactful and 
operationally sustainable.

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.

We operate an anonymised shortlisting process in our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. CVs can be uploaded, but we won't be able to view them until we invite you for an interview. Instead, we ask you to fully complete the work history sections of the online application form for us to be able to assess you quickly, fairly and objectively.
