"Stakeholders across the education landscape are delivering interventions to support young people, but assessing what is working effectively and what isn't is not an easy process. ImpactEd supports schools and education organisations to evaluate their impact, learn from it, and prioritise what is working best to improve outcomes for young people. They do this by providing a unique blend of tailored consultancy and their digital platform which enables schools to monitor and evaluate more quickly and effectively. We look forward to working with ImpactEd to develop scalable systems, develop their own impact strategy and understand how they can use their data to drive system change.”

About ImpactEd
ImpactEd is an award-winning social enterprise that exists to help evaluate, understand and improve impact in education.
In our education system, we invest huge amounts of time, money and energy in different programmes and interventions to improve outcomes for pupils. Yet far too often, we don’t know what is working – and what isn’t. ImpactEd exists to address this evaluation deficit, helping schools and those working with them to better understand what is working to make a difference to the lives of young people. We do this through a combination of hands-on partnership, training and consultancy, and our digital platform which makes monitoring and evaluation quicker, easier and more effective.
Since being founded in 2017, we have grown rapidly. Our work now reaches over 75,000 young people, with partners including a number of the country’s largest Multi-Academy Trusts and education organisations. But we want to do much more.
We are delighted that the support of the Scaling Award will help us to improve in three key areas. We need to do more to develop scalable systems that enable us to sustain the quality of our impact even as we grow. Hand in hand with that, we want to develop our own impact strategy, so we can more effectively understand how we can improve. And finally, the FEA will help us to consider how we can make the best use of the school-led evidence base ImpactEd is developing in order to achieve change at a system level.
