Our GCSE Booster programme provides time-limited interventions to support Key Stage 4 students and boosts their chance of success in exams. Students receive 4 live lessons per week as standard with the option for additional Friday consolidation lessons.

With small class sizes and adaptive lessons delivered by trauma-informed teachers, our booster courses support students who may need a circuit-break from the mainstream classroom, to re-set, re-focus and re-build confidence. They can also be used to provide additional support students looking to improve their grades.

In addition to live lessons, students have access to lesson recordings and additional lesson content to help them revise and prepare for exams.

Subjects available: English, Maths, Science, Humanities

Our bespoke booster groups provide tailored provision for your school. These can be commissioned on demand* and can often consist of ‘closed’ groups containing your school, or MAT’s students only.

Our partnership manager will work with you to build out a programme to fit your needs. An example would be English and Maths classes taught at 15:15 Monday to Thursday for 8 weeks. Students attending on your school site and split into two groups, those working to achieve a grade 4 and those working at grade 5 or 6 aiming to aiming to achieve a grade 7 attending different online lessons pitched to their levels.

Academy21 brings you a complete solution for GCSE resits and GCSE support without any burden on administration and resources. Your regional partnership manager will meet with you and work closely with you to create tailored plans for your pupils’ specific needs.

From on-site virtual learning alongside other studies at school to home-based learning for students with complex needs, our GCSE courses are flexible to your requirements.

Our experienced educators know that students resitting their GCSEs can feel both alienated and demotivated.
That’s why we’ve created a safe, supportive online classroom environment that’s free from the stigma and pressures of learning alongside younger peers — suitable for students up to age 19.
For students preparing for exams for the first time, our friendly, empathetic staff and exam preparation classes help to build confidence and prepare students for their next steps.

Whether students have missed large portions of their KS4 education or, if they’re preparing for resits, our teachers work to identify each student’s learning gaps, adapting their teaching style to provide personalised support.

Through engaging lessons, one-to-one attention, and regular feedback, we strengthen your pupil’s understanding of the knowledge and skills they’ll need to achieve a strong exam result.

At Academy21, we understand that GCSE success goes beyond academic support. Building strong rapport with each student, our teachers and staff also work to foster pupils’ resilience, motivation, and self-belief.

The goal is for every learner to not only succeed in exams, but also move on to further education with the ability to achieve their full potential.
