Measure Emotional Wellbeing
Every effective response begins with understanding. Measure Emotional Wellbeing through a consistent, evidence-informed process.
The Whole-School Approach to Wellbeing
Motional® helps schools, trusts and local authorities identify emotional wellbeing needs earlier, coordinate effective support and evidence impact over time.
From individual pupils to whole settings, Motional turns understanding into practical action.
Supporting schools, trusts and local authorities
to improve emotional wellbeing, inclusion, attendance, behaviour and engagement.





Young children rarely tell us exactly what they need. Instead, those needs are often communicated through behaviour, relationships, regulation and engagement.
Motional helps class teams identify emotional wellbeing needs earlier, respond with confidence and review progress over time.

Young people do not always ask for help when they need it. Emerging wellbeing needs are often expressed through attendance, behaviour, relationships and engagement long before they become visible through traditional measures.
Motional helps secondary schools build a shared understanding of emotional wellbeing across pastoral, SEND and teaching teams – enabling earlier conversations, more consistent support and a clearer view of what is changing over time.

Every child communicates their needs differently. Understanding emotional wellbeing requires a shared picture built from relationships, observation and professional insight.
Motional helps specialist settings create a shared understanding of strengths, needs and wellbeing across classrooms, therapies and support teams – supporting collaborative planning, consistent responses and meaningful reviews of progress over time.

Every school is different. Yet trust leaders need a consistent way to understand wellbeing, support improvement and evidence impact across multiple settings.
Motional helps trusts create a shared framework for understanding emotional wellbeing while preserving the unique context of each school – enabling more informed decisions, targeted support and stronger trust-wide narratives.

Emotional wellbeing needs rarely emerge evenly across a local area. Understanding where need is growing helps local authorities target support, allocate resources effectively and strengthen outcomes across schools and communities.
Motional helps local authorities build a clearer picture of emotional wellbeing across settings, identify emerging patterns and evidence the impact of investment and support over time.

Motional supports organisations working with children and young people beyond school – from community projects and charities to youth services and wider provision.
Bring the same structured insight to charities, youth services and community teams – without forcing a school-shaped workflow.

Motional helps you understand what’s happening across your school, support consistent practice across staff, and evidence the impact of your approach.
Build a shared understanding across staff and lead improvement with confidence.

Motional helps leadership teams identify emerging wellbeing patterns, support consistent responses across staff, and track the impact of support over time – across year groups, cohorts and the whole school.
Not just understanding wellbeing trends – but turning insight into coordinated action.

Motional helps you understand Emotional Wellbeing across different neurotypes, coordinate consistent support across staff, evidence the impact of provision over time, and feel confident that the right children are getting the right support.
Build a shared understanding across teachers, families and external professionals, so every decision starts from the same picture of need.

Motional helps teachers understand emotional wellbeing needs, recognise patterns behind behaviour and identify practical ways to support pupils in the classroom.
Not just noticing behaviour – but understanding what pupils may need underneath it.

Motional helps Virtual School Heads build a clearer understanding of Emotional Wellbeing across pupils, settings and cohorts – supporting earlier identification, more joined-up responses and clearer oversight over time.
More than measuring wellbeing, Motional helps coordinate consistent support across the wider system, keeping children at the centre of every decision.
