Why choose Academy21?

We provide students with additional needs, or challenging circumstances, with access to the high-quality education they need and deserve.

We work in partnership with schools, MATs, local authorities, pupil referral units and others to ensure students receive the best support possible.

Our high-quality, cost-effective and tailored provision helps students, who may struggle to cope in mainstream education, thrive.

Our Provision

Our provision offers a broad and balanced curriculum for years 7 to 11. At Key Stage 3 our Skills Builder courses are designed to provide the knowledge and skills to enable students to progress onto GCSEs.

At Key Stage 4, many of our GCSE courses can be studied for 1 or 2 years depending on need, and for those students where GCSEs aren't appropriate, we offer a range of functional skills courses.

All students also have access to:

  • Live inductions to help students have the best possible start
  • 4 x 40min live lessons, Mon to Thurs, plus interactive activities and tailored learning pathways
  • One-to-one tutorials with subject teachers for additional, personalised support (bookable by the mentor)
  • Weekly Active Time sessions to support health and wellbeing

Quality Education

All of our teachers are fully qualified and DBS checked, and we follow strict safer recruitment protocols. We are approved providers on more than 50 Local Authority alternative provision frameworks and directories. Each is quality assured by the respective LA and most are reviewed annually.

Our wonderful team of teachers has extensive mainstream, SEN, alternative provision and online teaching experience. All of our teachers have chosen to move into Alternative Provision, they exude energy and enthusiasm for their subjects and are passionate about teaching vulnerable learners.

Tailored Support

Academy21 offers a range of services that can be commissioned quickly with no requirement to make long-term financial commitments.

We currently provide more than 850 establishments with services directly designed to support their needs and those of their young people referred to us.

There are many ways our provision can be used to support your pupils, from short-term respite and early intervention in their homes to long-term academic support that complements your own pastoral interventions through hybrid delivery and on-site inclusion units.

Whether your pupil requires multiple GCSE subjects or only one functional skills course, our dedicated support team will ensure they receive the provision that meets their needs.

Commissioning Academy21

Our dedicated team of Partnership Managers and Account Managers work closely with the schools and local authorities in their regions. Together with our team of Regional Client Administrators (RCAs) they are on hand to provide you with customer support from start to finish.

We are dedicated to providing the highest levels of service and the most efficient commissioning process for every partnering school. We can enrol new students in as little as two working days.
