Case Study: Merchiston Castle School improves student wellbeing engagement with Orah

Merchiston Castle School boosts wellbeing survey participation to 80% with Orah

Merchiston Castle School, an independent school in the United Kingdom, faced a challenge in providing timely emotional support to its students. Their previous method of conducting bi-annual wellbeing surveys via Google Forms lacked real-time insight, making it difficult to promptly identify and assist students experiencing difficulties. To address this, they implemented the Orah Nurture platform from vendor Orah.

The Orah solution provided instantaneous mood check capabilities, allowing staff to receive immediate notifications of student concerns and respond quickly with comments and in-person follow-ups. This led to a measurable improvement, with wellbeing survey participation increasing from 70% to 80%. The school also reported improved student engagement in setting personal goals, with 81% of students participating. Orah transformed the school's ability to monitor student wellbeing continuously and facilitate crucial conversations.
