EDClass: A Strategic Partner for Multi-Academy Trusts

Total Compliance. Complete Inclusion.

Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) face a complex regulatory landscape when maintaining consistent, high-quality provision across a diverse network of schools.

EDClass delivers a centralised, trust-wide digital infrastructure that ensures absolute statutory compliance, minimises legal risk, and elevates learner outcomes.

As an accredited alternative provider under the Department for Education’s Online Education Accreditation Scheme (OEAS), EDClass validates your trust’s commitment to rigorous quality, defensive safeguarding, and equitable curriculum access.

Operating under the scrutiny of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026, Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), and the SEND Reform Plan, MAT executives must have absolute visibility over attendance, engagement, and safety logs.

EDClass removes the burden of fragmented, manual monitoring by providing an unalterable, audit-proof data engine. Whether tracking verified ‘eyes-on’ study hours for off-site learners, fulfilling Day 1 / Day 6 suspension instruction duties, or generating inspection-ready evidence for Ofsted’s Quality of Education and Inclusion frameworks, the platform protects your trust from regulatory vulnerabilities.

Curriculum Continuity for Strategic Partners

For our strategic trust partners, maintaining an uninterrupted, high-aspiring education across multiple academies is a complex operational challenge.

EDClass solves this by providing absolute curriculum continuity; our platform creates an exact digital parallel that aligns immediately with each individual school’s distinct scheme of work (SOW).

When a student is removed from their mainstream classroom, they do not default to generic, disconnected tasks. Instead, our strategic partners can guarantee that the learner covers the exact same granular sub-topics, text chapters, and exam specifications as their peers.

This eliminates learning gaps, protects cohort progress metrics, and provides trust leaders with robust, standardised data that proves academic momentum is maintained across every academy in the network.

A Standardised, Trust-wide Inclusion Strategy

By partnering with EDClass, MATs establish a unified, high-ambition standard for internal inclusion bases, resourced SEND units, and remote alternative provisions.

Instead of relying on isolated work-from-home arrangements or unmonitored spreadsheets, your trust gains a scalable network of live, EDClass teacher-led virtual classrooms and purpose-built for core and foundation curriculum alongside behavioural reflection tools.

This comprehensive approach closes diagnostic learning gaps, drives down exclusion rates, and builds a standardised, dignified pathway for successfully reintegrating vulnerable learners back into mainstream classrooms across your entire network.

Enhancing On-site Provision and SEND Support

Optimising On-site Inclusion Bases

By deploying EDInclude, trusts can transform physical isolation and inclusion rooms from passive holding zones into structured, low-arousal academic spaces. Students follow exact, digital mirrors of their mainstream schemes of work, reducing behavioural friction between on-site staff and pupils while maintaining high expectations.

Targeted, Adaptive SEND Support

Through EDInclude+, the platform delivers the specialised tools required to satisfy EHCP provisions and the national SEND Reform Plan. High-need and neurodivergent learners receive live, on-camera specialist teaching, direct speech adaptation, visual scaffolding, and reading-age-calibrated curriculum pathways—ensuring complex needs never stand in the way of high academic ambition.

Rotational Seat Flexibly for Part-time Timetables

To maximise trust efficiency and lower operational costs, EDClass allows schools to rotate user seats. A single digital seat can be flexibly allocated across part-time timetables, medical tiers, detention support, internal exclusion cohorts, and off-site learners - ensuring every school in the trust has the agile capacity to deliver complete inclusion.
