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. | Unlimited dashboards, with schools managed in groups such as primary and secondary. |
| Categories across the trust | Set once for every school. Each school's DSL approves any change to their own concerns. | Categories of concern set for each school or group. |
| 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. | Compliance tracking is mentioned, without detail. |
| Board reports | Choose sections, check a preview and export a PDF for trustees. Save your choices for next term. | Not stated publicly. |
| Where the figures come from | Each school's Pupil Protect, updated every morning. | Tes MyConcern. |
| Price | Included when a trust takes Pupil Protect for its schools. | Not published. Book a consultation. |
“Not stated publicly” means we couldn’t find it on Tes Clarity’s website. It may still be available, so ask them. If anything here is wrong or out of date, email sales@pupilprotect.co.uk and we’ll correct it.
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?
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]
