What Others Say

"The stimulating nature of the lessons Miss Perkins runs as well as her kindness, good nature and efficiency means that my daughter loves her lessons and actually looks forward to them.

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to my daughter’s maths teacher, Ms Perkins, who leads a lesson at 2.15 every Mon - Thurs afternoon.

My daughter, xxxxx, has severe chronic fatigue and had missed 18 months of lessons prior to joining the academy. She was nervous about how she would cope and found it tricky at first as her resilience was low, but the stimulating nature of the lessons Miss Perkins runs as well as her kindness, good nature and efficiency means that my daughter loves her lessons and actually looks forward to them. Her confidence in maths is growing and she is making measurable progress."

"Academy21 has helped them enjoy their learning journey and reach the finish line with a smile of success on their faces.

[Without Academy21] many of our vulnerable kids would have left school with absolutely nothing! Instead, they were able to continue to engage with learning and leave with GCSEs. Rather than punishing these vulnerable students, with Academy21 we have been able to intervene and get to the root of their individual problems. As you can imagine, parents are so grateful for this opportunity to reignite their child’s passion for education and give them hope of a positive future. Of course, Ofsted loves it too!

While the expectation is for the Lucys, Vishals, Philips and Kaitlins of the world to slip through the cracks, Academy21 has helped them enjoy their learning journey and reach the finish line with a smile of success on their faces.”

"We have been majorly impressed with Academy21

Thank you for getting this organised so quickly; we have been majorly impressed with Academy21 and how efficient you all are, it is very much appreciated."

"Now in my 4th year of using Academy21, I remain very impressed by the education and service they offer.

Academy21 has provided so many of our learners with high quality, engaging lessons; they have become an important part of the personalised programming we do for our children who require different routes to success. Now in my 4th year of using Academy21, I remain very impressed by the education and service they offer."

"Academy21 has been nothing short of amazing.

The level of support and nurturing is invaluable to students who use the programme. I cannot recommend them enough."

"A big thank you...

A big thank you to all of your staff for the wonderful support they provide for our students."

"Thank you so much for my time at Academy21

It is always hard for me to get up on mornings, but I always look forward to my English lessons because of how polite and welcoming she is. She is not only a great teacher, but she is great at listening and an amazing person to talk to. She always offers advice and makes sure if we need help we can always ask her. Thank you so much for my time at Academy21, you are the one who made me enjoy it"

"Academy21 have been supportive and understanding...

"Academy21 have been supportive and understanding. They listen to suggestions from us as a school and understand that we have an understanding of our student. They have accepted that for this student completing the additional tasks can be challenging and so have worked with us to find ways to ensure that there is a balance. This has been a successful program and one that I hope will result in a student gaining 4 GCSE’s."

“I would like to say a big thank you to all the teachers at Academy21...

It's been an incredible and certainly a very memorable two years for me being part of such an amazing school filled with the most loveliest people! Thank you so much for this truly sensational time..I'll never forget any of you!”

"Excellent lessons and made such an amazing difference in my daughter

I just wanted to thank all Academy21 staff for the excellent lessons you have given my daughter since March this year. It has made an amazing difference to Katy by helping her study again and be able to realise her potential.”

"Academy21 has been a fantastic resource to find

At a time when alternative provision providers are lacking in our authority, Academy21 has provided high quality provision in a range of subjects. We have students accessing the provision from year 7 to 11 and we have seen students on the brink if exclusion or school refusers, reengaging with their learning and progressing. The communication from set up, during lessons and regarding GCSEs is excellent and I would recommend to other schools."

"Fiona Wilson has been my encouraging maths teacher for the past 2 years.

I would like to thank her for explaining things in a way I could understand and for making me feel able to answer exam questions."

"A really valuable service, giving a creative option to difficult problems.

Keep up the great work and keep us on the books - a really valuable service, giving a creative option to difficult problems."

"Thanks for the great service

Thanks for the great service. I have just been discussing with the Headteacher how you know your market and respond so quickly"

"We are very impressed with the whole process of using Academy21

We are very impressed with the whole process of using Academy21 and when the need next arises for any online provision you will be our first point of contact. Thanks for everything!"

"The students have really engaged with your tutors and have enjoyed the online learning.

Now that our students have completed their 4 week programme with you, I just wanted to say thank you to you and the team. Looking at the reports, it has most certainly been of benefit to well over half of the students! The students have really engaged with your tutors and have enjoyed the online learning. "

"I would like to thank you Ciara for teaching Emma

Emma has really enjoyed your lessons and having you as a teacher and supporting her. Once again THANK YOU."

"Thank you Mel Jones

I would like to thank Mel Jones for 2 years of ICT lessons and guiding me through my first lot of exams last year and building up my confidence that I could do this. Also for keeping me inspired and motivated to go into Computing."

"I would like to thank all my teachers.

I have been with Academy21 for the last 3 years and have just finished my last lesson. My teachers have all been so good so I would like to thank them all."

"Reporting, Data and Breadth of Information

The reports for the students attendance, effort, understanding and interaction are easily accessible at the end of each day for each subject. I pull off weekly reports for each of my students. The data is easy to understand. Staff from Academy21 will always respond if you have a query about any of the data/information.

Term reports are also given which include comments from the teachers taking the classes. These are very helpful to see how a particular student is progressing."
