Pupil Protect vs CPOMS Insight
CPOMS Insight gives multi-academy trusts dashboards built on their schools’ CPOMS StudentSafe 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 whether compliance is tracked alongside the figures.

Side by side
| What you need | Pupil Protect | CPOMS Insight |
|---|---|---|
| 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". | Interactive dashboards powered by Microsoft Power BI, with unlimited views. 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. | Attendance by school and code, cases by status, and incidents by group and category, across the trust. |
| Trends | Each term compared at the same point last year. Notable changes are summarised, and small numbers are hidden. | Not stated publicly. |
| Compliance across schools | Single central record, KCSIE read, DSL training, policy reviews, filtering and monitoring, the annual audit and governor visits, each with an owner and reminders. | Not stated publicly. |
| Board reports | Choose sections, check a preview and export a PDF for trustees. Save your choices for next term. | Download or print reports for leadership, governors or Ofsted. |
| Concerns about staff | Allegations and low-level concerns as counts only, by school. | StaffSafe integration is described as planned. |
| Where the figures come from | Each school's Pupil Protect, updated every morning. | CPOMS StudentSafe. |
| Price | Included when a trust takes Pupil Protect for its schools. | Not published. Quote on request. |

When CPOMS Insight may suit you better
No system is right for every school. These are fair reasons to choose CPOMS Insight.
- Your schools already use CPOMS StudentSafe and you want trust reporting without changing system.
- You want to build your own views in Power BI.
- You report trust-wide attendance by code alongside safeguarding.
Moving from CPOMS Insight
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, and your CPOMS reports stay available until your contract ends.
Do we lose last year's figures for comparison?
Imported records keep their original dates, so Insight can compare with the same point last year from the start. [Confirm that Insight trends include imported records]
Can trust categories be set once?
Yes. Your categories can be set once for every school, and each school's DSL approves any change to their own concerns.
