Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• NCFEcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerNCFE and Pupil Progress have a partnership offering endorsed trackers for NCFE Level 1/2 V Cert qualifications. NCFE member schools receive specialised tracking for two subjects at zero cost. The partnership includes a real-time dashboard that breaks down performance by grade, unit, and assessment objective, with automated V-Cert progress tracking and proactive intervention alerts. Joint research was funded by the NCFE Assessment Innovation Fund, demonstrating improved student outcomes across 12 schools, 100 teachers, and over 2,000 students.
• PiXL (Partners in Excellence)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPiXL Waves powered by Pupil Progress is the first-ever tracking system with national benchmarking for granular question-level data. PiXL member schools receive Maths and English trackers at zero cost, with exam board-specific tracking for all KS4 and KS5 English Literature, Language, Maths, Statistics and Numeracy courses. PiXL uses data from Pupil Progress to create detailed report booklets and targeted teaching and learning resources distributed through the PiXL portal. The programme covers 350+ schools and 30,000 students with national comparisons.
• Sisra Analytics (Juniper Education)coreTechnology or IntegrationSisra Analytics and Pupil Progress have a partnership that bridges whole-school insights (Sisra's DfE-aligned benchmarking showing what is happening) with targeted curriculum-aligned diagnostics (Pupil Progress showing why and where gaps exist). The combined solution provides streamlined end-to-end visibility, faster smarter interventions, and flexibility for MATs and schools. A featured webinar with The Mead Educational Trust demonstrates real-world implementation. Pupil Progress integrates directly with existing Sisra Analytics setups.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• SIMS (Education Software Solutions): The dominant UK school MIS, sitting on the richest source of student record data that Pupil Progress integrates with via Groupcall Xporter. Could natively extend into analytics territory currently occupied by Pupil Progress.
• GL Assessment: Major UK-based assessment publisher offering standardised tests and progress measures. Comparable customer base and assessment data orientation, though positioned upstream of Pupil Progress.
• Renaissance Learning: Global K-12 assessment and learning analytics provider (e.g. Star Assessments, Accelerated Reader). Larger, internationally scaled incumbent offering overlapping progress measurement capabilities.
• RM Education: Long-standing UK EdTech incumbent providing MIS, infrastructure and learning tools to schools. Broad portfolio competitor rather than a niche specialist like Pupil Progress.

Direct peers

• Bromcom: UK cloud MIS with reporting, assessment and progress modules targeting MATs and schools. Comparable buyer and overlapping use case to Pupil Progress in English secondary schools.
• Arbor Education: Cloud-based UK school MIS used by MATs and schools for management information, reporting and progress tracking. Overlaps with Pupil Progress on secondary school data workflows and MAT-level reporting.
• Target Tracker (Juniper Education): UK assessment and progress tracking solution, particularly established in primary schools. Sister product to Sisra under Juniper Education and a direct functional analogue to Pupil Progress's tracking modules.
• ScholarPack: UK-focused school MIS with assessment, tracking and reporting functionality, widely used by primary and secondary schools. Competes for the same school improvement budget pool as Pupil Progress.
• Sisra Analytics (Juniper Education): UK school assessment and benchmarking platform used by 1,800+ schools. It is simultaneously a distribution partner and the closest functional competitor to Pupil Progress in UK secondary school analytics.
• Class Charts (Tes): UK school seating, behaviour and progress tracking platform used by secondary schools. Overlaps with Pupil Progress on the tracking and intervention use case for the same buyer.
