Reintegration guide for schools

Reintegrating students into mainstream education after a period of absence can be a delicate process—one that requires structure, empathy, and the right support. At Academy21, we understand the importance of helping young people rebuild their confidence and re-engage with learning. This guide shares our proven approach to reintegration, developed in partnership with hundreds of schools across the UK. From tailored routines to encouraging classroom environments, discover how our online learning provision helps pave the way for successful, lasting transitions back into education.

Our approach

Academy21 partners with hundreds of schools and educational institutions across the UK to ensure the seamless reintegration of students into mainstream classrooms. Our tailored approach builds confidence, establishes routines, and fosters a positive mindset. This helps students return to school with fewer learning gaps and a
brighter outlook—the foundation of lasting reintegration or transition.

Our commitment

We are committed to helping young people overcome challenges and reconnect with education, whether in school, at home, or in an alternative setting. With a proven track record, schools trust Academy21 to facilitate successful reintegration and smooth transitions to new placements after an engaging and motivating online learning experience.

Our teachers

Teachers establish a positive learning environment, welcoming pupils into class and encouraging them throughout lessons. This has a demonstrable impact on improving pupils’ confidence and readiness to learn. Pupils’ attendance improves, and the approaches taken enable pupils to progress and, in many cases, successfully reintegrate into their school or other educational placements.

This guide outlines how Academy21 supports student reintegration and transition.
