Ten Points is a behaviour and wellbeing platform for schools. It brings recognition, reflection and analytics together in one place – helping teachers recognise positive behaviour in the moment, giving students a private space to reflect on how they are feeling, and giving school leaders real-time insight into the culture and wellbeing of the whole school. It is made by Ten Points Education Ltd, a UK company, and designed for primary and secondary schools in the UK and internationally.
What Ten Points is
- A single platform where recognition, reflection and analytics live together, rather than in separate tools.
- A way for teachers to recognise positive behaviour out loud and in the moment – points, house points, school values and hall passes.
- A private, everyday space for students to check in on how they are feeling and build a habit of reflection.
- A real-time view, for leaders and pastoral teams, of behaviour, wellbeing and culture across the whole school.
- Recognition-first by design – built around noticing the good, not around sanctions or monitoring.
What Ten Points is not
- Not a management information system (MIS). It complements a school’s MIS; it does not handle registration, timetabling, assessment or census returns.
- Not a private tutoring or homework marketplace.
- Not a parental-control, filtering or surveillance product.
- Not a standalone parent-messaging app, though parents do see the recognition their children earn.
The four products
- Behaviour – recognise positive behaviour and award points in the moment, tied to school values, house points and hall passes.
- Wellbeing – private student journals and mood check-ins, with gentle prompts that make reflection part of the everyday.
- Insights – real-time dashboards for leaders and pastoral teams, drawing together points, praise, journals, mood and a student watchlist.
- Community – an always-on school display that celebrates recognition as it happens, alongside live house leaderboards.
