Lumii exists because a quiet pupil was missed — and his mother decided that wouldn't happen again.

Lumii was built around a hard truth: most schools have pupils who struggle silently, and traditional pastoral systems are reactive — they deal with what reaches them, but much never does.

Co-founder Laura Tristram learned this first-hand. Her son had been described as a quiet boy who got on with things. Nobody had spotted how serious things had become. That experience gave Laura the drive to build something that could genuinely listen to children every day — not just when things became visible.

She partnered with Mark Beedles, a co-founder with twenty years building education technology businesses. Together they built Lumii.me — another layer to safeguarding and wellbeing in a school. The layer that hears what children don't say out loud, with humans always in control of the response.
