Member benefits from ASCL Partners

We are the first online alternative provision to be accredited by the DfE. This recognition highlights our commitment to excellence in online education, ensuring we meet the rigorous standards set by the DfE for teaching, safeguarding, and student support.

At Academy21 we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to excel in their educational journey. We offer a broad curriculum for Key Stages 3 and 4 in addition to a variety of academic and wellbeing support courses. Our inclusive and welcoming environment is designed to support students who face challenges in mainstream schooling, enabling them to improve their confidence and reignite their love for learning.

Or lessons are delivered 100% live and taught by our subject-specialist, qualified teachers who provide adaptive teaching that engages their students. Our teachers bring with them a wealth of experience from mainstream, physical AP, and special school settings.  

We take a partnership approach and work collaboratively with our customer schools and local authorities to ensure that the students placed with us receive the education they need and deserve, with tailored timetables, the right balance of subjects and SEN or additional needs catered for. 

Our dedicated regional teams meet and work with commissioning organisations offering unparalleled customer service that ensures students and schools are set up for success. When you work with us, you get:

Flexible Learning: Alongside live lessons, students have access to a personalised pathway of learning activities tailored to their pace and progress. We also offer academic support courses to equip students with essential study skills.

• Flexible commissioning: Our provision is customisable to meet the needs of your school and students, from our wide range of subjects, to our tailored timetables. Our flexible commissioning options mean whether you need short, medium, or long-term support, we can create a package that fits your needs. 

• 24/7 Reporting Online: Our online platform ensures that parents, guardians, and educators have round-the-clock access to students' progress reports, fostering transparency and collaboration.

• Improved Attendance: “Pupils’ attendance improves and evidence shows that the approaches taken enable pupils to make progress and, in many cases, successfully reintegrate back into their school or other educational placements” – Ofsted, 2023

The DfE accreditation not only reflects our dedication to delivering an outstanding educational experience but also affirms our commitment to setting benchmarks and raising standards in online education. We are ambitious not just for ourselves but for our students and their futures, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed, no matter their starting point.
