30 Second Briefing

As the leading online alternative provision specialist, Academy21 is focused on delivering a comprehensive package of enhanced services that equip all learners with the skills and confidence to thrive both academically and in life.

1. Targeted academic support

Academy21 provides targeted academic support for Key Stages 3 and 4, focusing on core subjects essential for student progression. Our courses include EAL Support to enhance grammar and fluency, and Literacy Support for students with learning gaps or challenges affecting their spelling, punctuation, grammar or reading skills.

We also offer Numeracy Support to improve foundational maths skills, and Maths Support – a more challenging Key Stage 4 course that prepares students for their GCSE exams. All our courses align with the national curriculum and are led by qualified teachers.

2. Wellbeing focus

Academic progress is just one puzzle piece; our students’ wellbeing is just as important. Academy21 offers a range of wellbeing courses for students to take control of their mental health and become happier and healthier individuals.

Our courses include anxiety management, social skills, one-to-one counselling and wellbeing mentoring, covering topics such as how to develop a powerful set of wellbeing coping skills, understanding stress symptoms and improving communication and social interactions. Our counselling and mentoring sessions are a safe space for students to share their feelings and receive the support that they need.

3. Flexible and tailored scheduling

Timely student support is crucial, which is why our courses are open for enrolment all year round. Schools can book our courses at any point in the course cycle, with the option to purchase as few as five sessions, and up to 10 sessions (one session per week).

We recommend students attend each session, so they can get the most out of them. Importantly, Academy21 works closely with schools to ensure that the course truly fits students’ needs, and is the right solution for them.

4. Unmatched expertise

Our subject-expert teachers are all UK-trained and DBS-checked and bring extensive online teaching experience, ensuring that students receive comprehensive support in their courses. This expertise and experience extends to our SEN team, who are dedicated to building an inclusive learning environment and finding new ways of assisting learners.

We have designed our courses with students’ needs at the forefront, drawing on the insights and expertise of SEN leaders to provide tailored educational experiences that foster growth and learning for every student.

5. Feedback and reporting

Academy21 provides comprehensive progress reports in Week 10, which detail each student’s strengths, areas for improvement and upcoming course content. This information enables schools to accurately and consistently measure progress, while also ensuring students stay motivated.

Weekly ‘Apply’ tasks help to consolidate learning, while assessments taking place in Weeks 3 and 7 offer measurable insights, helping educators make decisions around course adjustments and keep parents informed.
