EDUCATIONAL PYSCHOLOGY
What is our Educational Psychology offer
At Psychology 360, we work directly with Leicestershire and Leicester City schools through our Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our SLAs are tailored to meet individual school’s requirements, varying from full, comprehensive packages of support to smaller bespoke SLAs to complement existing Educational Psychology input. There are no minimum or maximum limit to the size of an SLA.
As experienced Educational Psychologists, we bring knowledge and experience of working with a range of educational settings and special educational needs. For casework, we use a ‘360 model’ to consider a range of information and perspectives to understand problem situations, enabling us to work with you in applying psychology to bring positive change for your pupils, school, and families. We provide a written record of our involvement which captures the shared understanding and includes collaboratively agreed actions and next steps.
Collaborative conversations, openness, and a strengths-based approach underpin our work, and sit at the heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on providing a friendly, supportive, and personalised service.
To find our more or to request an SLA, please contact us at
