WHY CHOOSE ACADEMY21?
The right environment to achieve
A comprehensive, flexible solution
Academy21 brings you a complete solution for GCSE resits without any burden on administration and resources. Your regional partnership manager will visit your school, working 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.
Safe, suitable learning space
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.
Bridging gaps for resit success
Successfully supporting students through resits requires a unique approach. 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.
Nurturing development all round
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.
