MindSprout vs iyarn
iyarn is a trusted Australian wellbeing check-in. Here's how MindSprout is built differently.
The short version
iyarn is a school wellbeing check-in platform widely used in Australia. It tracks areas such as sleep, fitness, friends and mental health.
What iyarn does
iyarn lets students self-rate multiple dimensions of wellbeing — sleep, fitness, friendships, mental health — through a multi-axis check-in.
Side-by-side
Where MindSprout is different
Built for UK and US pastoral structures
MindSprout speaks the language of UK and US schools — year groups, key stages, form tutors, heads of year, grades — and aligns to how pastoral care is actually delivered in those systems.
One question a day beats a multi-axis form
Multi-axis self-rating asks a lot of a child every check-in. MindSprout's one-question-a-day rhythm means higher completion and a cleaner signal over time.
Real-time notifications to the right adult
When a child's check-in changes meaningfully, the right pastoral lead is notified the same day. Insight that lives only inside a dashboard is insight that often arrives too late.
Whole-school view with hierarchy drill-down
Headteachers see the school. Heads of year see their year group. Form tutors see their class. Pastoral leads see individual children. One source of truth — appropriate depth for every role.
In one paragraph
iyarn is a solid choice for schools — particularly in Australia — wanting multi-dimensional self-rating. MindSprout suits UK and US schools wanting a lighter daily signal with deeper pastoral insight.
