My name is Becky Allen. I have spent the past 20 years researching and writing about schools. I am a co-founder at Teacher Tapp, the daily survey and CPD tool. From 2014 to 2017, I founded and led the highly successful independent research organisation, Education Datalab. I am a Visiting Professor at the University of Brighton and spent much of my career at UCL Institute of Education.

I am currently blogging on Substack via two publications. Subscribe to 100% Assessment for blog posts about assessment written for teachers and leaders. Subscribe to my personal Substack publication for posts about education more generally.

In 2018, I published a book with Sam Sims called The Teacher Gap. In 2021, I published a book with Matt Evans and Ben White called The Next Big Thing in School Improvement.

You can find me on social media on LinkedIn, X and Bluesky. If you need to get in touch, my email is becky@allenmoss.co.uk (although note I don’t have much/any capacity for talks, workshops or consultancy work at the moment).
