OFSTED RegisteredHome Education
A calm, small-group half-day (or full-day) provision for home educated learners. Build confidence, develop life skills, and work towards Maths and English qualifications.
Who is this provision for?
Our half-day provision is designed for home educated learners who would benefit from structured, supported learning in a calm, small-group environment — particularly those with SEND, SEMH, or EBSA needs.
- Children with SEND, SEMH, or EBSA needs who find mainstream school overwhelming.
- Families who want structured, supported learning alongside home education.
- Learners who need small-group interaction and social time in a calm setting.
- Young people working towards qualifications at their own pace.
Home Schooled Students Can Access the KS4 Work Skills Programme
If your child is KS4 age and home educated, our Work Skills Programme gives them a structured route to real qualifications and a clear next step after education. We assess every student for their Functional Skills level and make sure they sit exams at the right stage — building towards Level 2 in Maths and English, which opens doors to college, apprenticeships, and employment.
Once Functional Skills are in place, your child can choose a vocational direction — Sports qualifications up to Level 2, Health and Social Care, or Hair and Beauty. We also offer CSCS card training for construction and trades, work experience placements, and full support with CVs, applications, and interviews. Available as a half-day or full-day provision, with clear goals and regular updates so you always know how your child is progressing.
Open to all KS4 home educated learners — with and without EHCPs, SEND, and SEMH needs.
- Functional Skills assessment — your child is placed at the right level, from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2, so they sit exams they're ready for.
- Maths and English qualifications — NCFE Functional Skills accreditation that colleges, apprenticeships, and employers recognise.
- Level 2 is the goal — opening doors to the college courses, apprenticeships, or employment your child wants.
- Employability skills qualification — every KS4 student works towards this alongside their core learning.
- Vocational choices — once Functional Skills are achieved, your child can choose from Sports qualifications (up to Level 2), Health and Social Care, or Hair and Beauty.
- CSCS card training — for young people interested in construction and trades.
- Work experience — we help arrange placements that complement their chosen direction and build their CV.
- CV writing, job applications, and interview preparation — practical skills for life after education.
- Half-day or full-day options — flexible to fit around your family's home education routine.
- Clear goals, regular progress updates, and weekly reporting to keep you informed.
Great Pathways for KS3 Home Educated Learners Too
It's not just KS4 — we have structured, supportive pathways for KS3 home educated students as well. Whether your child needs help building confidence, developing social skills, or getting back on track with their learning, our KS3 provision gives them the support they need in a calm, small-group setting.
Every KS3 learner gets a Personalised Support Plan built around their strengths and needs. Alongside core subjects, we offer therapeutic support, active learning, and structured social time — all designed to help your child thrive at their own pace.
- Personalised Support Plan (PSP) — tailored goals built around your child's needs and interests.
- English, Maths, and PSHE — small-group sessions with qualified, experienced staff.
- Therapeutic support — Art, Play, and Sport Therapy options to help with emotional regulation and confidence.
- Social skills and self-esteem — structured interventions that help your child build friendships and resilience.
- Active learning — movement-based activities woven into every session to support focus and wellbeing.
- Flexible attendance — half-day or full-day options to fit around your family's home education routine.
- Regular progress updates — so you always know how your child is getting on.

We focus on engagement first, using small group sizes, flexible plans, and a calm environment to help learners take steady steps back into education.
