About EP for Schools
Practical ideas, grounded in school life.
I developed EP for Schools as a practical resource for SENCos, teachers and TAs.
Hello, I’m Ian.
I’m Dr Ian Corban, an HCPC-registered educational psychologist and director of Corban Psychology Ltd. I work with schools and local authorities, helping staff understand pupils’ needs and turn recommendations into useful everyday support.
I developed this website myself to bring together readable advice on learning, SEND, behaviour and interventions. It is for SENCos, teachers and TAs who want ideas they can use and review in school. The articles draw on research and my experience working with schools.
How this knowledge bank is produced
EP for Schools is developed under the direction of Dr Ian Corban, drawing on his work as an HCPC-registered educational psychologist, relevant UK guidance and published evidence. Technology, including AI-assisted drafting tools, is used to help develop and maintain the large knowledge bank efficiently.
Articles are intended to answer practical questions that arise in schools. Automated drafting does not replace professional judgement: content is reviewed and refined for relevance to UK school practice, and the site is maintained as general professional information rather than individual assessment, diagnosis or advice about a named child.
Precision Teaching for schools
I also designed and developed PrecisionTeaching.uk, a browser-based app for short, focused practice. It helps staff record probes and see progress over time, so they can decide what to teach next. Schools can try it free for one month.
This site is for general professional information. It cannot give advice about a named child in a public comment or replace an individual assessment or consultation. If your school needs to commission Educational Psychology work, visit my practice at Corban Psychology.
