When a Multi-Academy Trust purchases a statutory assessment contract, Pobble sets this up as an **organisation-level subscription** rather than individual, standalone school subscriptions. This approach allows us to: - Centrally bill the trust - Link all participating schools under one organisation - Apply MAT-level pricing and, where possible, pass on discounts - Maintain clear visibility of which schools are included and what they are paying #### Central Invoice - Pobble will issue **one central invoice** to the trust (or nominated central finance contact). - The invoice will cover all participating schools under the statutory assessment contract. #### Invoice Breakdown Where required, Pobble will provide **clear instructions and documentation** alongside the invoice showing: - Each school included in the contract - The exact amount attributed to each school - Any agreed discounts applied at group level This allows trusts to: - Recharge schools internally, if needed - Maintain transparency for finance teams and school leaders #### Discounts for School Groups Centrally billed contracts allow Pobble to apply **group-level pricing**, meaning that where possible, savings can be passed on to schools. ##### Reduced Charges Apply To: - **Standalone infant schools** - **Exceptionally small schools** - **Special schools** > Reduced pricing depends on the **level of statutory assessment activity** the school is likely to be involved in (for example, moderation scope and participation). These adjustments are agreed during contract setup and reflected clearly in the invoice breakdown.   #### What You’ll Be Provided With If you are responsible for distributing or processing payments internally, Pobble will supply: - A central invoice - A school-by-school cost breakdown - Clear instructions on how charges should be allocated If anything changes (for example, schools joining or leaving the contract), Pobble will update the organisation subscription and confirm any invoicing implications.   If you manage the contract for your Multi Academy Trust and have further questions that are not covered within our help articles please contact Laura Bailey, Head of Assessment and Moderation: laura@pobble.com - [Setting up](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Quick set up](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#quick-set-up) - [Pobble admin role](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#pobble-admin-role) - [Adding teachers](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#adding-teachers) - [Adding pupils](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#adding-pupils) - [Organising pupils](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#organising-pupils) - [Training](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/setting-up?hsLang=en#training) - [Pobble 365](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Finding Resources](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#finding-resources) - [Creating Resources](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#creating-resources) - [Editing Resources](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#editing-resources) - [Sharing Resources](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#sharing-resources) - [Publishing tools](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#publishing-tools) - [Pupil tools - teacher support](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#pupil-tools-teacher-support) - [Pupil tools - pupil support](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#pupil-tools-pupil-support) - [Curriculum or scheme support](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-365?hsLang=en#curriculum-or-scheme-support) - [Moderation](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/moderation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Making the most of Pobble moderation](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/moderation?hsLang=en#making-the-most-of-pobble-moderation) - [Creating your first moderation files](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/moderation?hsLang=en#creating-your-first-moderation-files) - [Using or editing existing moderation files](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/moderation?hsLang=en#using-or-editing-existing-moderation-files) - [Running moderation sessions](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/moderation?hsLang=en#running-moderation-sessions) - [Statutory Assessment](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/moderation?hsLang=en#statutory-assessment) - [Subscriptions and payments](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-payments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Payments](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-payments?hsLang=en#payments) - [Subscriptions](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-payments?hsLang=en#subscriptions) - [Cancellations](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-payments?hsLang=en#cancellations) - [Refunds](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-payments?hsLang=en#refunds) - [FAQs](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-payments?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Pobble Home](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-home?hsLang=en) - [Additional support](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Legal Introduction](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#legal-introduction) - [Legal FAQs](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#legal-faqs) - [GDPR](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#gdpr) - [Access](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#access) - [Parent support](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#parent-support) - [Responsible Data Use & Educational Partnerships](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/additional-support?hsLang=en#responsible-data-use-educational-partnerships) - [Pobble Schools](https://help.pobble.com/knowledge/pobble-schools?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.pobble.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Brand%20elements/Pobble%20logo%20RGB-2.png?width=85&height=55&name=Pobble%20logo%20RGB-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.pobble.com/?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2026, Pobble Education Ltd
