Schools report attendance, learning and relationships improved - how Emotional Logic has transformed children’s lives in schools

After years of working with children across a wide range of schools, our team are often asked: what difference do Emotional Logic sessions really make? The answer, it turns out, is both significant and far-reaching.

How Emotional Logic sessions make a difference

• Improved behaviour: Most children not only behaved better at school but also brought that positive change home.

• Greater focus on learning: Many children found it easier to concentrate in the classroom.

• Boosted confidence and resilience: Most children felt more confident in themselves and were able to handle worries with increased ease.

• Better attendance: It became more common to see these children turning up for school regularly, keen and ready to learn.

• Stronger relationships: Children reported getting on better with their friends and teachers, creating a friendlier and more supportive environment.

What schools are saying about Emotional Logic

• Almost every school we worked with would recommend Emotional Logic support to others, praising its positive impact.

• Lots of schools also pointed out that more pupils could benefit from these sessions if only they had a bigger budget for support.

• Many schools shared their hope that, given the opportunity, more of their teachers could be trained to use Emotional Logic themselves.

The story behind the data: How did we research the impact on attendance, relationships and learning?

Over the past three years, the Exciting Education team has supported hundreds of children who needed a helping hand. Once the sessions were complete, a staff member who knew each child well completed an in-depth survey to share what had changed for those children.

In total, the survey included 501 children from diverse backgrounds and experiences, aged between 8 and 18, who had taken part in special one-to-one sessions with a trained coach. Most of these young people had faced tough situations—the majority living in care or with difficult home lives. The schools taking part represented a diverse mix: primary, secondary, special schools, and colleges, in both urban and rural areas across Devon and Cornwall.

On average, each child took part in 4 to 6 sessions, each lasting up to an hour—providing the space and support they needed to start making real progress.
