The value of measuring engagement
Engagement is evidenced to help improve attendance, employee retention, and outcomes.
Improve student wellbeing
Support the UAE region’s expectations for national and cultural identity by tracking how different demographic groups are engaging with your school. Use this insight to develop strategies that promote belonging, wellbeing, and achievement.
Boost teacher retention
Track satisfaction and early signs of disengagement with anonymous surveys that protect privacy and encourage honest feedback. Spotting trends by department or demographic helps leaders act early, retain talent, and save recruitment costs.
Benchmark and stay ahead
Benchmark your school’s data against other international schools in the UAE to inform strategy, support national and Emirate-specific regulatory reporting, and show progress to families – helping your school stay competitive.

Engagement data is an early signal for outcomes. TEP helps leaders identify emerging risk before it shows in attendance, retention and attainment, target support for early intervention and track the impact of improvement over time.

Hear why school and trust leaders continue to work with TEP and embed engagement evidence in their school improvement cycles.
“We wanted rigorous, comparable data, and TEP provided that.”
"TEP covers all school areas, tailored to different staff roles. It supports teaching, behaviour, wellbeing, leadership, and management."
"If you’re a leader looking for a survey that’s anonymous enough to encourage honest feedback, yet specific enough to provide meaningful insights, TEP is exactly what you need. It gives you a global view of your school while also revealing the pockets you normally wouldn’t see. This helps you create real dialogue and conversations about where change is needed and what exactly needs to change."
"We really appreciate the thoughtful and pragmatic approach, rooted in research and the genuine desire to build the service shaped around the needs of school leaders like me. TEP data is now a key part of our decision-making."
“The TEP team has been invaluable in supporting the analysis process to drill down into the data and make informed choices, using an evidence based approach.”
"It helped us see which groups were really struggling — we wouldn’t have seen that just from attendance or behaviour."
"At a Trust level, it has strategically informed our leaders' sustained improvement planning in many different areas."
"We’ve made a huge number of changes off the back of it. Our spring data looks totally different to autumn."
