30 Second BriefingPersistent absence rates are at an all-time high as students struggle with emotionally-based school avoidance – but at Academy21, we can help withdrawn, anxious students re-engage with school.
1. Fast intervention from day one
With all school absences, early intervention is key to avoiding learning loss. Online alternative provision (AP) can be used to support learners at any time during the academic year, with quick set-up and implementation times.
Our rapid enrolment process can onboard students to timetables suited to their needs within 48 hours.
2. High-quality teaching, 100% live online
Online alternative provision can provide anxious students with an ideal environment in which to rebuild their academic confidence.
Our expert teachers are passionate and knowledgeable and have chosen a career in AP. They are experienced in delivering engaging classes to anxious or withdrawn students, and with classes 100% live, they can adapt their delivery to their students’ needs.
For students who don’t yet feel comfortable leaving their homes for school, Academy21’s small online classes can eliminate triggers such as crowded hallways and noisy canteens, and get their learning back on track.
3. Flexibility for schools and students
With Academy21, pupils’ provision can flex up and down as needed, with no long wait times.
We work with schools to build timetables that suit each student’s individual needs, whether that means flexibility in subject choice or the timing of lessons.
Our online alternative provision is designed to meet a wide range of needs – from sixth-day provision requirements to longer-term support, all tailored to every pupil’s individual needs.
4. Successful reintegration
Ultimately, the goal for us at Academy21 – and for all the schools and local authorities we work with – is to see students reintegrate into a mainstream learning environment whenever it’s right for them.
By combining a strong academic focus with support for wellbeing in a stable learning environment, we can guide students through the process of gradually re-establishing their confidence, routines, and self-belief, getting them back into the physical classroom and working towards securing successful futures.
“We can guide students through the process of gradually re-establishing their confidence, routines, and self-belief.”
5. A strong partnership
The work we do at Academy21 is made possible through our unique approach to forming partnerships, with our team working closely alongside schools and local authorities across the country to deliver the best possible outcomes.
With our commitment to maintaining proactive communication, and providing round-the-clock access to reporting and monitoring (for everything from attendance to engagement data), we’ll ensure that you’re kept fully up to date and that your students remain firmly on track to succeed.

- After ill health led to a years-long absence, Lilia’s anxieties around school escalated. Academy21 worked with Lilia, her school, and her family to create a long-term plan.
- This plan enabled Lilia to gradually catch up with her studies in a comfortable environment, regain her learning confidence and ultimately achieve the GCSE results she needed.
- Having successfully achieved five 8s and two 7s in her GCSEs, Lilia is now excited to be studying A Levels at a sixth form college (her first choice) in Cambridge.
- “I needed a place where I could concentrate in lessons, not feel intimidated by classmates, and teachers that I could communicate with – all of which I received with Academy21” – Lilia
