Background:
Tes has launched a new platform called Tes360 to help schools and trusts manage information in a more connected way and improve daily decision-making.
The global education company said the platform combines its long experience in education with new technology. It is designed to solve a common issue in schools where important data is spread across different systems, teams, and departments. Tes said this often slows down decisions and increases the workload for staff.
Tes360 combines key school functions including HR, timetabling, classroom management, safeguarding, SEND support, staff management, and administration into one platform. This gives school leaders and teachers faster access to the information they need to make decisions and take action.
The company said Tes360 will work alongside existing school management systems instead of replacing them. This is intended to make adoption easier for schools while improving the flow of information between tools already in use.
Tes added that the platform can help schools spot risks earlier, reduce manual work and improve consistency across different schools and trusts. It also aims to save time for teachers by reducing paperwork and making key information easier to access.
Rod Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Tes, said disconnected systems slow down decision-making in education. He said connecting data helps schools act faster, reduce complexity, and improve outcomes for students. He also noted that the platform reflects years of development focused on improving how school systems work together.
Tes360 is now available in all markets where Tes operates. The company said the launch supports its wider goal of helping schools and educators through technology, services, and education insight built over more than a century of experience in the sector.
