One developmental ladder, designed for every age in school.
Lumii is built around five developmentally appropriate models — each with its own tone, language, and interaction patterns. Plus a separate, private space for staff. All under one safeguarding architecture.
Pupils talk to Lumii. Staff add notes. Schools talk to Lumii's intelligence. Humans always decide.
Not one product, scaled down for younger users.
An eight-year-old does not interact with their feelings the same way a fifteen-year-old does. Lumii's developmental ladder reflects that — with five tiers, each shaped around the cognitive, emotional, and language stage of the pupils it serves.
Cross-tier transitions are handled within the school deployment, not by the pupil.
Lumii Early Years
Teacher-led by design. Children engage in the presence of, and with the support of, an adult. Pre-literacy and emerging-literacy pupils, working through emoji-based feelings expression and very short interaction cycles.
How it works
- Teacher-led classroom experience — strong adult oversight throughout
- Emoji-based feelings expression
- Optional chat with Lumii, tailored to EY
- Visual rather than verbal — minimal cognitive load
- No free-text input dependency
Important distinction: EY is teacher-led by design. Daily pupil voice — where the pupil chooses when to engage, the structural claim that defines Lumii — begins at JNR (age 6+). Both are part of the same developmental ladder; they are not the same kind of channel.
Lumii JNR
Engagement-first, low text burden, playful but purposeful. Two developmental sub-tiers (6–8 and 8–11) inside one product.
What pupils do
- Safe, age-appropriate AI chat
- Emoji-based feelings check-in at session start
- Stories with embedded wellbeing signals
- Quests with passive safeguarding capture
- Avatar, sticker, and creative tools
- Study Buddy — task breakdown, never answers
Lumii SNR
More mature tone, deeper reflection capability. Two sub-tiers (11–14 and 14+) — the younger tier holds firmer boundaries on conversational scope, the older tier allows greater reflective depth under the same safeguarding architecture.
What pupils do
- Free-text AI chat with conversational memory
- Mood check-in
- Private journalling with reflective prompts
- Study Buddy — revision and planning support
- Personalised themes, avatar, decor
- Choose your own language (30+ supported)
That's the pupil experience across the developmental ladder. The next sections cover what staff have access to.
A separate, private space for staff.
Educators give a great deal. Lumii.me+ gives something back — a confidential reflection space built on the same emotional insight model, kept entirely separate from the pupil system.
What staff get
- Private daily reflection space
- Personalised coping prompts
- Multilingual and culturally adaptive
- Available whenever staff need it
What leadership sees
- Aggregated, anonymous wellbeing trends
- Never individual conversations
- Helps shape staff wellbeing strategy
- Designed to reduce burnout risk and support retention
Lumii.me+ is free for all school staff through to July 2026.
No cost. No contract. No lock-in. Provide a headcount and we set up within 24 hours.
Set up Lumii.me+ for your teamThe intelligence layer behind everything.
The school-facing dashboard is where insight becomes action. Available to authorised staff only.
- Emotional trends across days, weeks, and terms
- Alert distribution: Green / Amber / Red / Purple
- Positive emotion tracking
- Year-group and class comparisons
- Pattern visibility over time
- Safeguarding case tracking with full audit trail
- SLT sees trends — not individual conversations (unless they hold an authorised safeguarding role)
What trained adults see, captured alongside what pupils share.
Authorised staff can add notes to a pupil's record or to a specific Lumii conversation. If the note needs follow-up, they can flag it Amber, Purple or Red — using the same alert system as pupil voice — so the right people see it.
This means a pupil's record holds two voices: their own, and the trained adult's observations. Both feed into the same triage system. Both surface to the right staff at the right time.
Ask Lumii. Get answers. Get a way forward.
Lumii Insight is built into the dashboard. Authorised staff can ask plain-language questions about what's happening across the school, dig into the patterns Lumii has surfaced, and receive practical suggestions on how to support — for an individual pupil, a year group, or the whole school.
What staff can ask
These examples are queries authorised staff might run on the dashboard. Pupil identity is held only by the school — Lumii surfaces patterns and signals, never names.
The principle remains the same
Lumii Insight supports the trained adults who do the work — it does not replace their judgement. It helps staff act on what Lumii has surfaced, with insight grounded in the school's own data. Decisions remain with the people authorised to make them.
Spotting the patterns. Never assigning the label.
Some pupils experience the school day differently from their peers. Difficulties with emotional regulation, school avoidance, or social communication often go unnoticed for a long time — particularly in pupils who mask well or come from cultures where seeking support feels difficult. Lumii's neurodiversity traits model is designed to help schools see these patterns earlier.
Patterns the model identifies
- Emotional regulation challenges
- EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance) indicators
- Social-communication signals
- Self-esteem patterns
What it never does
- Diagnose any condition
- Assign labels to pupils
- Replace the judgement of an educational psychologist or clinician
- Trigger automatic referrals
Clinical authorship
The neurodiversity traits model is authored and clinically governed by Dr Yebeltal Gezahegn, Consultant Neuropsychiatrist. Patterns identified by Lumii are surfaced as trend-based signals — they support professional judgement, never substitute for it. All outputs are probabilistic and require human review before any action.
Currently in beta as we refine the model in close consultation with schools and clinical partners.
