Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) play a crucial role in delivering high-quality education across multiple schools, providing a structured approach to shared learning, resources, and expertise.
Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) within MATs offers a unique opportunity to implement a coordinated, strategic approach to supporting students with communication needs across multiple settings.
Working In Partnership With ITS
By working in partnership with ITS, our Speech and Language Therapists can ensure that students with speech, language, and communication difficulties receive consistent, high-quality support.
This collaboration allows for the development of:
- Trust-wide intervention models.
- Staff training, upskilling, developing more effective internal resources.
- Early identification processes that benefit both students and educators.
Our approach to speech and language therapy within MATs is designed to be flexible, evidence-based and aligned with the Trust’s values and priorities.
Whether it’s delivering:
- Assessment services;
- Direct therapy – 1:1, small group work, whole class interventions;
- Universal preventative interventions;
- Improvements to communication friendly teaching environments;
- Supporting classroom strategies and training for staff teams;
- Increasing parental knowledge and ability to support their child to support better outcomes.
We aim to enhance communication skills, boost academic outcomes, and create inclusive learning environments across all schools in the Trust.
Through tailored support, ongoing collaboration, and data-driven decision-making, we can help MATs build a sustainable, impactful speech and language provision that meets the diverse needs of their students.
Our Services for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs)
We offer 3 options to support your Speech and Language Therapy provision
- Speech and language Therapy bundles
- Contracted annualised speech and language therapy
- Training and building internal resources
Our Speech and Language Therapy bundles offer a cost-effective solution to help you manage your budget efficiently. Once purchased, your allocated time can be used flexibly throughout the academic year, allowing you to access the services you need, when you need them. This ensures tailored support for your students while maximising value and convenience.
Our contacted annualised services are tailored to meet the specific needs and budgets of each trust. SLTs can be booked on an hourly or daily basis, starting from just one day per week per half term. Increase days per week to provide ongoing support throughout the full academic year. We offer you a consistent named therapist in each setting, who will work seamlessly as part of your teaching team. All HR and compliance is taken care of, as well as ongoing clinical supervision, CPD and access to specialist SLT’s in the wider team.
Staff training is vital for your MAT and to ensure you are meeting the Governments new guidelines on upskilling staff. We provide training from 1 hour sessions up to full days training on many SLT topics to upskill your staff. Developing your staff’s knowledge and understanding of speech, language and communication will noticeably improve outcomes across your MAT. Sharing training across the schools insures you can offer the maximum range of topics as well as less formal hand holding and problem-solving sessions linking your team to a regular specialist Speech and Language therapist.
