Curriculum and lessons design
We have a small maximum class size (2-6)to ensure the academic quality of our teaching, and also the chance for every student to flourish within the group.
Our highly experienced team of mentors offer academic guidance, support for independent learning, timetable arrangement, liaison with tutors for guidance and feedback consultancy, liaising with tutors and clients.
Alongside development of independent learning, we build up the 5 C’s of global life-readiness: collaboration, communication, creativity, citizenship and critical thinking throughout our teaching, mentoring and academy experience.
Tutors design academic projects, challenges, competitions and coursework which allow pupils to collaborate with each other to submit their entries.
We fully expect all of our students to pick at least one major activity to complement their academic learning from those we offer: School newspaper; Music club; Book Club; Debate Club; Film Club; Art Club.
What sets us apart from other online school offerings is that we bring our student group together for talks and guidance from really engaging and inspirational speakers each term.
We believe regular and easily understandable feedback on progress is essential for all students. They have an assessment after enrolment, combined with progress assessment at the end of each term, and feedback given via weekly reports (which cover four main areas: motivation / effort, confidence, progression and academic ability).
