Belonging is a performance indicator, not a pastoral concern

Satchel Pulse will help provide the tools to gather meaningful insights into student wellbeing, engagement, and sense of belonging. By investing time and effort into this platform, we can proactively identify areas for improvement, track progress, and implement strategies that align with our Trust priorities. This approach not only strengthens our compliance with national standards but also reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where every student can succeed.

The surveys helped us gain unique insight into how effective our drive to promote a sense of belonging has been with specific cohorts and groups within cohorts. The precision in the analysis has allowed us to effectively plan our response, based on clear evidence and supported by a wealth of ready to use resources within the Satchel Pulse platform. At a time when developing a sense of belonging is crucial within our schools and where inclusion is a system-wide priority, Satchel Pulse has provided us with a valuable tool which ensures that support and intervention is evidence-led and our response is shaped by tried and tested resources.

We have been thoroughly impressed by the quality of the platform and the accompanying resources. The insight it provides has the potential to support us in developing a deeper understanding of pupil and staff mental health and wellbeing. We feel confident that Satchel Pulse will offer useful and meaningful data to inform our ongoing work in this important area.
