How check-in helps schools notice sooner

Check-in does more than track moods. It gives staff a clear, daily view of how students are doing, and connects what they see to the safeguarding, pastoral and Inclusion processes you already run. Built for pastoral, safeguarding and inclusion leadership.

Check-in product survey

Listen: a daily pulse

Students answer one simple question: How are you feeling today? They tap an emoji they recognise. Low effort means high participation, including from students who rarely speak up in tutor time or lessons.

  • Eight clear emotions covering positive and negative states, from Happy and Proud to Sad, Worried and Angry
  • A built-in 'Talk to an adult' option that flags students who are reaching out for help
  • Participation tracked at school and Trust level, so leaders always know whose voices are being heard
  • A customised approach so that only students of your choosing are able to participate

Identify: patterns behind feelings

Check-in surfaces emotional trends across the week, month, term and the academic year, so staff can focus on the students whose signals are changing rather than those experiencing a rare bad day.

  • Group heatmaps that show every student’s responses at a glance
  • Filter by group, year, gender, and inclusion data
  • See check-ins alongside attendance, Skills, and Perceptions data on the student profile to create a holistic picture

Respond: turn signals into support

When a student discretely asks for help, you do not want to find out next half-term. Check-in connects directly to your pastoral, safeguarding and inclusion teams, so noticing leads to acting.

  • Instant flags when a student selects ‘Talk to an adult’, routed to a nominated staff member of your choice
  • A direct route from a check-in into interventions
  • Exportable reports for SLT meetings, reports, and Ofsted preparation
