Annual School Contracts
Annual contracts run over the academic year. Orders are taken during the Summer term, ready for the work to begin in September. Any number of units can be purchased and will be delivered over the academic year. Delivery of annual contracts takes priority over mid year ad hoc work.
The educational psychologist is flexible regarding how the units purchased can be used. This can include work with individual pupils, training for school staff or parents, group consultation, and staff supervision.
School Ad Hoc Requests
Schools are welcome to contact P4L to request individual pieces of work / ad hoc work throughout the academic year. However, we will need to check educational psychologist availability before accepting the order as work on annual contracts takes priority.

Our Educational Psychologists
Psychology4Learning is committed to providing a high quality educational psychology service; seeking to continually improve so that we can ensure the best possible outcomes for children and young people. All of our educational psychologists have many years experience working in the education sector, and have worked as educational psychologists within local government.
Our educational psychology services are fully customised to the needs of the school.
Parents can commission work from Psychology4Learning directly, though we only have limited availability for this type of work. When contacting P4L regarding our availability, please be aware that the educational psychologists work term time only as the assessments are normally conducted on school site. We would have to identify educational psychologists within driving distance of the school, and then check their availability.
Private educational psychology reports can be submitted as evidence when applying for an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The psychological advice within the final EHCP is written by the Local Authority, a private educational psychology report can be used by the Local Authority to inform their advice within the EHCP.
