In every classroom, there are children facing "invisible barriers." As educators, we often see the behaviour, the disruption, the withdrawal, or the frustration, but uncovering the specific social and emotional developmental needs behind those actions can feel like guesswork.

The Boxall Profile® Online, is the invaluable tool that is helping schools move from reacting to symptoms to understanding the child.

What is the Boxall Profile®?

The Boxall Profile® is an assessment tool that allows schools to identify the specific social and emotional needs of children and young people. Rather than a diagnostic medical tool, it provides a "framework" for understanding a student’s inner world. It focuses on two key areas:

  1. Developmental Strands: Measuring the progress a child has made in their early years' development.
  2. Diagnostic Profile: Identifying behaviors that may be inhibiting a child’s ability to learn.

Why it matters

According to recent research, over a third of pupils have some form of SEMH need. By using this profile, we can:

  • Identify needs early: Spot underlying issues before they escalate.
  • Create targeted action plans: We don't just find the problem; the tool helps us build achievable support plans to help pupils engage positively in class.
  • Track real progress: We can measure change over time, ensuring our interventions are actually working.

"The Boxall gives you ownership," explains one practitioner. "It improves your understanding and your relationship with the child." This shift in perspective is everything. Instead of simply reacting to a difficult moment in the classroom, we are empowered to look deeper. By identifying the root cause of a struggle, we can pave a clearer path toward success. As fellow teachers have observed, this leads to a powerful ripple effect: better behavior, deeper engagement, and students who finally feel understood.

97% of schools* agreed that the Boxall Profile® helped identify and respond to the needs of their children and young people.
