School & Trust Services

With the national increase of SEND and inclusion needs over recent years, it can be hard for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) to secure the educational psychology support that their pupils and staff need.

From family-school consultations, individual assessments, and therapeutic support for pupils, to supervision for high demand roles such as senior leaders, SENCOs and safeguarding leads, staff training and school-wide development (see our consultancy services). Our work provides clear, evidence-based strategies that help staff, families, and young people thrive.

High-quality educational psychology support for schools, MATs, and families.

How Northlight Psychology can help:

Consultation that makes a difference:

We work alongside staff, families, and professionals to co-produce practical support plans that help pupils thrive and give schools a clear way forward.

Comprehensive psychological assessments:

Clear, evidence-based recommendations to understand a pupil’s needs and strengthen EHCP applications, supporting staff and families in meeting the needs of children and young people.

Cognitive assessments for access arrangements:

Provide the evidence schools need to secure fair exam access and ensure pupils’ abilities are recognised.

Targeted therapeutic support:

CBT-informed approaches to help children and young people manage anxiety, low mood, and other emerging mental health needs so they can re-engage with learning and life in the school community.

Supervision that supports staff wellbeing:

Safe, structured sessions for senior leaders, SENCOs, and safeguarding staff to reflect, problem-solve, and build resilience in demanding roles.

Training that sticks:

Bespoke, interactive training for staff, governors, and parents across a range of topics relevant to inclusion in schools. These sessions are designed to be informative and practical.

How It Works:

Packages & Pricing

We organise our time with schools & trusts into sessions.

One session = Four hours (half a day).

Work includes direct work in a school/MAT and admin time (such as report writing) outside.

Work is billed per session.

Northlight Psychology offers Schools & Trusts Services across different regions in the UK:

We offer three packages:

Package Offer	Session Rate	Effective Discount
Flexible Plan (1-3 sessions)	£400	None
Regular Plan (4-12 sessions)	£380	5% discount per session
Partnership Plan (13+ Sessions)	£340	20% discount per session

The Regular and Partnership Plans require booking in advance and are intended for longer term work planned and spread out over a term and/or academic year. The Flexible Plan can be requested as soon as there is availability.

A bespoke support offer can be tailored to align with your organisation’s needs and preferred plan. Please get in touch to discuss the best fit.

All pricing includes both direct and indirect time (e.g. preparation, analysis, reporting), so there are no hidden costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a session?

A session is 4 hours of work. It’s easiest to think of it as half a day. However, this time does not all have to be spent in school, as it includes administrative work, such as report writing and preparatory work.

How long does it take for a report to be written following an assessment?

Reports will be completed and shared with schools and families within 28 days of the final visit/assessment with a child.

Can we purchase additional sessions?

Yes. If there is availability, you can add extra sessions to your package at any time. The price of those sessions will depend on your new total. For example, if you buy 8 sessions (the Regular Plan) and later add another 8, your total rises to 16 sessions. Because this moves you into the Partnership Plan (13+ sessions), all additional sessions above 12 sessions will be charged at the lower Partnership rate.
