The video introduces the Motional platform, emphasising its utility in addressing two primary challenges in schools: limited funding and time constraints.

The platform supports educators in fostering student wellbeing, which is shown to be crucial for academic success. Advances in neuroscience link emotional wellbeing to cognitive functions like attention, memory, and social learning, reinforcing the need for a holistic, "whole-school" approach.

Whole-School Approach: This approach integrates emotional wellbeing into the school's safeguarding framework, involving all staff levels to prevent any student from being overlooked.

  • RAG Rating Tool: Special needs coordinators use this tool to monitor students’ emotional progress and identify those in high need.
  • Senior Leadership Tools: Leaders use data analytics to track trends, allocate resources effectively, and evaluate intervention outcomes.
