More schools are choosing Alps to support improvement at KS4 and the impact is clear. In 2024, 66% of Alps schools achieved a positive Progress 8 score, compared to a national average of 43%.

With measures like the KS4 Quality Indicator, subject-specific benchmarks and aspirational target setting, Alps supports a more complete view of student progress across the whole curriculum, helping schools drive better outcomes for every student.

What sets Alps apart is our user-friendly design and unique benchmarks and indicators that enable all staff to quickly understand and leverage data for impactful results. Our analysis has been designed by teachers for teachers, to be easy to use, insightful and actionable, making a measurable difference to student outcomes.

With Alps, you benefit from:

• Early customer‑based benchmarks from the very start of term
• Annual national benchmarks built from the full DfE dataset
• Signature Alps “What If” and “How do I” modelling tools
• A common language for staff through KS4 and KS5 

Alps gives schools access to key KS4 performance measures, enabling detailed analysis of key accountability metrics such as Attainment 8 averages, EBacc point scores, and English & Maths achievement rates.

Within Connect, leaders and teachers can quickly explore Progress 8 and Attainment figures at both whole-cohort and individual student level, customise comparisons and export data for further review, all designed to support evidence-led decision-making and classroom improvement.  

For many years, Alps has worked closely with PiXL, delivering data insights and best practice in supporting school and college leaders to deliver high performance outcomes.  

“We have always been proud to have Alps as a partner: their student-centered approach to helping raise achievement, and the clarity the platform provides to staff, continues to be so helpful to school leaders who are striving to do the best for their young people.”    Rachel Johnson, CEO at PiXL.
