How we work

Experienced teachers lead live, online, timetabled lessons where pupil interaction is encouraged. In addition, Students have the option to attend the physical school one day a week for more practical subjects. Class groups are small by design to help support individual progress. Our teachers are on hand to answer any questions and monitor development. Each student is part of a tutor group who come together daily with a dedicated form tutor to provide a consistent contact and outstanding pastoral care. Firefly hub & iPads are supplied to enrolled students with learning tools pre-loaded, so learning can happen anywhere there is an internet connection.

We can accomodate in-year admissions creating a flexi-schooling approach for families.

We offer two learning approaches:

1. A unique hybrid school option. Where students learn online most of the week and attend the physical school near Regents Parks, London either one or two days a week. This enables students to engage with more practical subjects such as design, drama, sports and connect with the hybrid school students, and the wider day school community.
OR
2. Learning online five days a week for students preferring complete online schooling or unable to attend onsite.
