The most effective way for MATs to reduce barriers to learning and scale mainstream inclusion delivery
Schools are now focusing more on measurable results, recovering lost learning time, and making inclusion work on a larger scale. Many multi-academy trusts (MATs) want to strengthen inclusive practices, support students’ emotional wellbeing, and ease the pressure on staff and specialist services.
Cubbie is a measurable support solution for inclusion and SEND that helps children and young adults self-regulate and participate in learning. It offers an early intervention system that schools can use before behaviours escalate or learning time is lost. Each session is timed and structured to help students get back to learning in 10 minutes or less.
With Cubbie, MATs can measure the impact across multiple schools and deliver a consistent mainstream inclusion strategy across their trust.
The hidden operational challenges MATs are facing
MATs across the UK are facing increasing behavioural incidents, absence rates, and expectations around inclusive practice and SEND delivery. Trust leaders are being asked to report on the impact of inclusion strategies, demonstrate the value for investment, and show how they are reducing barriers to learning across multiple settings.
Traditional sensory and wellbeing interventions are difficult to measure consistently at scale. Cubbie is different.
Cubbie provides structured sensory regulation interventions alongside measurable reporting that enables schools and trusts to report on usage, outcomes, attendance impact, emotional regulation trends, and participation in learning across individual learners, schools, and entire trust groups.
Proven impact across schools backed by the University of Galway
The impact of Cubbie has been independently analysed by the University of Galway. They analysed over 154,000 sensory breaks across more than 4,000 learner profiles. Their findings demonstrate measurable improvements in regulation, attendance, engagement, and return-to-class outcomes.

A standardised measurable inclusion support system for every school in your trust
Cubbie is an operating system for mainstream inclusion that provides:
-
Centralised oversight across all schools through a risk management and reporting dashboard
-
Real-time usage and inclusion data for leadership teams, stakeholders, and Ofsted
-
A trust-wide mainstream inclusion approach that provides a solution that keeps children and young adults in school
-
Improved wellbeing and behavioural outcomes, including attendance, reduced dysregulation, and increased participation in learning
How Cubbie works across a MAT
Cubbie enables MATs to deploy a consistent, measurable inclusion support system across multiple school environments whilst still allowing flexibility for individual learner and school needs.
Each school benefits from its own Cubbie environment and personalised occupational therapy-designed sensory regulation programmes. Through the reporting dashboard, trust leaders have centralised
oversight on inclusion data. This enables MATs to monitor engagement, intervention usage, emotional regulation trends, and impact across individual schools and wider trust groups.
By standardising inclusive practice across schools, MATs are able to:
-
Provide consistency and continuity of support for pupils transitioning between schools
-
Strengthen mainstream inclusion capability across the trust
-
Reduce reliance on reactive interventions and specialist provision
-
Evidence inclusive practice and early intervention strategies for Ofsted and stakeholders
-
Identify trends, risks, and support requirements across multiple settings
-
Deliver measurable inclusion outcomes across the trust

Resources and insights
An independent impact analysis from the University of Galway
We partnered with the University of Galway to independently analyse how users engage with Cubbie, and how their emotional states shift before and after each session. The research uncovered four key findings, including that 75% of Cubbie users are regulated by their sixth session.
Understanding sensory
processing disorder: A silent struggle
Imagine living in a world where every sound feels like a roar, where the touch of clothing feels like sandpaper on your skin, or where bright lights seem like a constant, unbearable glare. This is the reality for individuals with SPD, a condition that remains largely misunderstood and under-recognised.
The lifelong impact of sensory processing
disorder: From childhood to adulthood
Explore the deeper impacts of SPD on individuals as they transition from childhood into adolescence and adulthood. Understanding the statistics and long-term effects can help in creating more effective support systems and raising awareness about this often-overlooked condition.
