Academy21 is founded on an ethos that aims to give every young person the same opportunity to achieve and progress as their peers in mainstream education.

We were the first online alternative provision to be accredited by the DFE as part of the Online Education Accreditation Scheme (OEAS). This scheme is a quality mark that assures schools, local authorities, families and students that the accredited provision meets the highest standards of teaching, safeguarding, and overall student welfare.

We work collaboratively to ensure that all children and young people placed with us receive the education they need and deserve, with tailored timetables, the right balance of subjects and SEN or additional needs catered for. We work with a range of learners from broad and diverse backgrounds including, but not limited to:

• EBSA & school refusal
• Medical needs
• Challenging behaviours
• Excluded or at risk of exclusion
• Teenage parents
• GCSE rescue/resits

Our provision in action:

• 100% live, real-time classes
• Personalised to individual students’ needs
• Highly qualified and experienced subject-specialist teachers
• User-friendly portals, plus resources, recordings, and students’ reports
• Broad and consistent curriculum for Key Stage 3 and 4
• Personalised support for students with diverse needs, including SEN
