The session
Where a skill is taught and practised out loud, fortnightly, in a room with a trained facilitator. Game-led, so students practise rather than listen.

How we work
We come into your school and work on the connections.
We are not a software company that sends a school a login. We are people who come in, work on the relationships a student actually lives inside — with each other, with their teachers, with home, and with themselves — and then measure whether they got stronger.
Four connections, worked on directlyWhat we work on
Four connections, in every school building.
A school is not a set of individuals to be improved one at a time. It is a web of relationships, and a child’s emotional fitness is mostly a property of that web rather than of the child. So these are the four we work on, by name.
Student to student
The corridor, the group chat, the bench someone stopped sitting on. Belonging is a measurable thing, and it moves — we work on it directly rather than hoping a friendship group sorts itself out.
Student to teacher
One steady adult in a building changes a child’s year. We give every teacher the lens and the four moves that make them that adult — starting with describing the behaviour instead of labelling the child.
Student to home
The connection that does the most work, and the one schools usually cannot touch. The parent evening and the home practice tools are how a school finally reaches it.
Student to themselves
Whether a fifteen-year-old can name what they feel, sit with it, and act anyway. Everything else rests on this one — and it is the one the exam system never asks about.
Why connection, and why now
Something that imitates care is already in the room.
72%
of teenagers have used an AI companion, and around half are regular users (Common Sense Media national survey, 2025).
1 in 3
of those users say talking to an AI companion is as satisfying as — or better than — talking to a real friend.
63%
of teens and young adults who took a mental-health question to a chatbot had told no human being about it.
We are not against the technology — we build with it. But a machine that is always available, never tired and never disappointed is a very persuasive substitute for a friendship, and a generation is quietly accepting the substitute. The answer is not to ban it. It is to make the real thing strong enough to be worth the effort.
How the work actually happens
Four instruments, one system.
No single one of these works alone. A session without practice fades by Friday; an app without a trained adult in the building is a novelty; measurement without either is a report nobody acts on.
The practice space
The app — private missions, a mood log and a toolbox — is where the reps happen between sessions. Emotional strength is fitness, not something you absorb once.
The adults
Teachers reinforcing the same language in ordinary moments, and parents doing the same at home, is what turns a session into a habit.
The measurement
Before and after, across six relational dimensions, at cohort level. This is how a school knows whether it bought something real.
Emotional fitness, reported
Exactly what your school sees.
A school should be able to read this list before signing anything, so here it is in full. The principle is simple: patterns, never individual data.
Emotional fitness by cohort. How a grade or a section is doing across the six relational dimensions, before the program and after it.
Movement over time. Which dimensions shifted and which did not — including when the answer is “not much yet”, because that is the useful half of measurement.
Participation and delivery. How many students are taking part, what was delivered, when, and to which groups.
An end-of-year impact report you can put in front of management, a board, or a parent body.
Never: what a student wrote. Reflections, mission answers and mood entries are not visible to the school, to teachers, or to parents. Not on request, and not for a senior member of staff.
Never: an individual emotional fitness score. We do not hand schools a ranked list of children by emotional state. That is the surveillance product we chose not to build.
Never: advertising or profiling. Student data is not used to target advertising, and is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing.
The one exception: a safety concern. If something suggests a child may be at risk, it goes to your designated safeguarding lead — by name, the same day. That pathway exists precisely because everything else stays private.
Why we built it this way
A lamp, not a spotlight.
A teenager tells the truth only where they are sure no one is marking it. The moment a student suspects a teacher can read their reflections, the reflections stop being true — and a system that collects untrue answers is worse than no system, because it produces confident, wrong reports.
So the privacy is not a concession we make reluctantly. It is the thing that makes the measurement worth having. A school gets a truer signal from honest cohort patterns than it ever would from a feed of individual entries that students had learned to game.
Where this is today
Set up with you, not handed over.
Worth being straight about
The student practice space is live and in use. The school-facing emotional fitness reporting is rolled out school by school, and we configure it with you rather than handing over a login — grade bands, reporting cadence and access set up around how your school actually runs, with your safeguarding lead named in the system from day one.
If you would like to see it, we will walk you through it on a call rather than pointing you at a demo account.
See it properly.
Tell us about your school and we will walk you through how the work runs and what the reporting looks like — and answer the privacy questions before you have to ask them twice.
