💡 Why use TAPE?
- Free to use
- Accurately measures the impact of WP activities on pupil AABs

🧪 How was TAPE validated?
Using data from over 4,400 pupils (Years 9–13), we conducted validation tests. TAPE showed strong:
- Content validity
- Face validity
- Test-retest reliability
- Predictive validity (e.g., pupils with low AAB scores less likely to progress to HE)

I've put it as %female on this. The male %is very close to the reverse (100-female%). I'll have to report some of the things I'm looking at both ways.

There's this which shows gender gap from teachers to leaders. I'm working on this atm. I'll have the (2023-24) data point soon. I've also figures for workforce exit by age. I've not got the gender breakdown out of my ons secure space yet but will have v soon.
