Pupil Protect vs Tes Clarity
Tes Clarity gives trusts and local authorities reporting built on their schools’ Tes MyConcern data. Insight in Pupil Protect does the same job for schools using Pupil Protect.
The main differences are how much of a pupil’s record the trust can see, and what’s published about trends and board reports.

Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | Tes Clarity |
|---|---|---|
| What the trust sees | Counts only. Insight never shows a pupil's name or what a record says, and numbers under 5 are shown as "fewer than 5". | Customisable reports and data exports at category, school and trust level. Whether they show names isn't stated publicly. |
| Comparing schools | Every school on one page, per 100 pupils, so schools of different sizes compare fairly. Each is marked On track, Watch or Review by plain rules, such as 10 or more overdue actions. | Unlimited dashboards, with schools managed in groups such as primary and secondary. |
| Categories across the trust | Each school's categories map to common reporting groups, so schools compare fairly, and a grid shows every school's categories side by side. Coming soon: setting categories once for every school. | Categories of concern set for each school or group. |
| Trends | Each term compared with the same point last year, with the biggest changes picked out. Small numbers are hidden. | Not stated publicly. |
| Compliance across schools | Single central record, KCSIE read, DSL and deputy training, policy reviews, the Section 175 or 157 audit and governor link visits, for every school. Remind one school or all by email. Coming soon: filtering and monitoring. | Compliance tracking is mentioned, without detail. |
| Board reports | Choose from five sections, add a note, check a preview, then print or save a PDF for trustees. Coming soon: report templates, and saving your choices for next term. | Not stated publicly. |
| Where the figures come from | Each school's Pupil Protect, worked out live when you open the page. | Tes MyConcern. |
| Price | Included when a trust takes Pupil Protect for its schools. | Not published. Book a consultation. |

When Tes Clarity may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose Tes Clarity.
- Your schools already use Tes MyConcern and you want trust reporting without changing system.
- You're a local authority, which Tes says Clarity is designed for.
- You want to export the data and build your own reports.
Moving from Tes Clarity
We bring your records across and your DSL checks them before anything goes live.
Do our schools have to move at the same time?
No. Each school can move on its own date.
Do we lose last year's figures for comparison?
Coming soon: importing records with their original dates, so Insight can compare with last year from the start. Until then, comparisons with last year begin once a school has a year of records in Pupil Protect.
