With absence rates rising, online alternative provision is a flexible solution that can help. Through Academy21’s live interactive classes and pastoral support, pupils can access quality education which provides continuity, strong outcomes and a pathway to reintegration.
Balancing flexibility, excellent teaching and pastoral care, Academy21 supported over 4,400 young people with behavioural, medical, and mental health needs last year.
Trusted by more than 800 schools, pupil referral units, and local authorities, Academy21 is a pathway to strong, recognised outcomes and successful reintegration back into school.
Our live classes are delivered by qualified, subject specialist teachers experienced in working with anxious and withdrawn children. All subjects are supplemented with a library of learning materials, including interactive activities tailored to each student’s learning pathway.
“Academy21 has been a lifesaver for our learners, we’ve seen how grateful they are for the support and the opportunities that have been opened up for them.”
Assistant headteacher, Greenwood School
With flexibility built in, you can use Academy21 in any way that suits your school. Our online provision can serve as a short-term solution for fixed-term exclusions or students awaiting permanent placements.
For others, it’s an early intervention lifeline that keeps persistently absent pupils engaged.
From temporary respite for students struggling with EBSA, to long-term support for pupils who cannot return to mainstream schooling, Academy21 can be adjusted to your needs and called upon whenever you need it.
We work collaboratively with schools to help you get the most out of our services, with no minimum purchase requirements, fast set up (within 48 hours), flexible booking options (ranging from half-termly to annual) and mix-and-match subject timetables.

Feedback
- “Academy21 has provided high quality provision in a range of subjects. We have students accessing the provision from Y7 to Y11, and have seen students on the brink of exclusion or school refusers re-engaging with their learning and progressing. I would recommend it to other schools.” Nina, assistant headteacher
- “My teacher has inspired me for maths (and school in general) again. She gave a massive boost to my self-confidence, and I really thank her for that.” Christopher, Y11 student
- “Once Katy started, you could see she was learning and moving forward – it was uplifting to see her back in education. Academy21 enabled her to get sufficient, good GCSE grades to move on to college. It was the most positive decision we could have made.” Linda, parent
