Effective, validated wellbeing surveys encourage students to share their feelings safely and honestly — and that insight is invaluable.
When students can express how they are coping, what they are worried about, and what support they need, schools gain a clear, real-time picture of community wellbeing. This helps staff plan effective PSHE provision, meet DfE wellbeing standards, and identify pupils who may need additional support before issues escalate.
Lifestyle First's team of experts has developed a simple, effective protocol that helps schools keep a finger on the pulse of student health, wellbeing and sense of belonging. Fully integrated into your learning platform, this feature makes it easy to build a culture where every student's voice is heard and wellbeing is monitored with the same care and consistency as academic progress.
This aligns directly with the DfE's emphasis on prevention, early help, and evidence-based practice in mental health.
With a wellbeing survey built in, our platform helps schools:
- Strengthen safeguarding
- Improve student engagement
- Build emotional literacy
- Support early intervention
- Meet DfE expectations with confidence
- Demonstrate impact to governors, inspectors, and parents
- Early identification of pupils who may be struggling
- Consistent monitoring of emotional wellbeing across the school year
- A safe channel for students who might not otherwise speak up
- A stronger safeguarding picture, informed by real student data
Behaviour change begins with awareness — and Lifestyle First has created a simple tool to help your school build healthier habits.
Our self-reporting portal gives staff, parents and students a private, structured space to reflect on their daily lifestyle behaviours. Linked to the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, the tool gently encourages your school community to build awareness, develop healthier routines, and set achievable weekly goals.
The process takes just a few minutes to complete, but the impact can be powerful. By shifting focus towards the everyday behaviours that influence health and wellbeing, schools can create stronger foundations for learning, resilience and long-term success.

The result: a safer, more supportive school culture
The Department for Education expects schools to:
- Promote positive mental health
- Use evidence-based tools to understand pupil needs
- Ensure pupil voice shapes curriculum and pastoral planning
- Monitor wellbeing as part of a whole-school approach
The Lifestyle First self reporting survey supports all of these aims. It provides measurable, trackable data that schools can use to demonstrate how they meet the DfE's 8 principles for mental health and wellbeing, including leadership, student voice, targeted support, and curriculum integration.
