Our GCSE Rescue courses

Our popular GCSE Rescue courses are designed to cover essential content and prepare students for exams in a condensed timeframe.

GCSE Rescue is perfect for pupils who may be disconnected from learning, at risk of exclusion, emotionally based school avoiders (EBSA), or medically vulnerable. Our unique blend of 100% live teaching, interactive lessons, revision and skill sessions, as well as personalised and support students to achieve their best outcomes.

Enrol your students at any time throughout the year — the sooner, the better — for improved outcomes at an affordable price point. Please get in touch to receive further information on pricing for your school – prices start at less than £16 per lesson. 

How it works

Classes to support KS4 students

Our combination of live, interactive classes, supporting tasks and exam preparation help students who have missed large portions of their KS4 provision to catch up.
  • Courses are structured so students can join at any time, without missing out on entire topic areas; 
  • Rescue courses run right up to the Maths, English and Science exams in June – when mainstream schools are on study leave, our students still have access to course content, live lessons and their teachers for revision support;
  • Students learn in small groups with others of similar ability, activities are tailored to students’ needs with real-time feedback and our Inspired AI provides additional learning opportunities, customised to help fill learning gaps 
online alternative provision

Using Academy21 for GCSE preparation on-site

Our GCSE Rescue courses work well when used on-site.

Many of our partner schools utilise on-site hybrid provision with our courses to provide support for students who are not able to join their mainstream classroom. Our courses provide rigorous engaging academic content, build confidence and prepare students for exams, whilst still recording an attendance mark with the supervision of a single staff member, when supervised on site. 

Our courses, of course, are also beneficial and widely used for students who are not able to attend school or are attending sporadically for a range of reasons. Offering those students facing challenges the opportunity to improve their exam outcomes in circumstances where, as outlined in the recent DfE guidance, it is in the students’ best interests to access online remote provision.
