Pupil experience

Designed for primary pupils

Moodly gives every pupil from Reception to Year 6 a quick, safe way to share how they feel. They tap an emoji, so they don't need to read, write or speak up in front of the class.

A check-in, step by step

Here is a check-in through a pupil's eyes. Your school chooses the feelings, questions and reasons they see.

Older pupils

Growing independence

As pupils grow in confidence, you can switch on more ways for them to share. You choose when.

  • Personal PIN on any device
  • Follow-up questions
  • Optional written notes
  • Affirmations and class surveys
Year 7 and up

Moving up to secondary

Older students want anonymity and room to say more. For secondary schools, sixth forms and colleges we recommend our sister product, Moodly Surveys: anonymous-by-default student voice and staff wellbeing surveys.

Moodly schools get 50% off their first year of any plan. See how to claim it.

All-through school or trust? Use Moodly for your primary phase and Moodly Surveys from Year 7, run by the same team.

Safe by design

Built for how young children think and feel

Every part of a check-in is quick, private and kind, so pupils want to come back tomorrow.

“Moodly is amazing, it helps me express my feelings without having to say them out loud. It's amazing and helps students like me and teachers out!”

  • Done in under 30 seconds

    Pupils check in and get straight back to learning.

  • Made for young children

    Big, friendly emoji instead of forms and rating scales.

  • Private, not public

    Nobody has to say how they feel in front of the class.

  • Linked to each child

    Check-ins aren't anonymous, so a trusted adult can follow up. That includes shared tablets.

  • Seen by the right staff

    Role-based access means only the right adults see a pupil's responses.

  • Any device, no download

    Works in the browser on tablets, laptops and computers.
