How online alternative provision can deliver meaningful support and robust reintegration plans for your school Academy 21 1 EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION When it comes to absence, time is of the essence. Delays in supporting pupils often lead to heightened anxiety and greater disconnection from learning, making reintegration increasingly challenging. Online primary AP offers a fast, flexible solution. Academy21’s provision can be implemented at any point in the academic year, with swift enrolment and set up. Whether children need an interim solution or extended provision, schools can quickly provide live lessons and teacher support that give children real structure. 2 LIVE, ENGAGING LESSONS Pupils benefit from a learning experience that keeps them moving and exploring. Academy21’s KS2 curriculum has been shaped with these needs in mind. Lessons are chunked to suit developing attention spans, with interactive elements, regular breaks, and meaningful two-way communication with teachers. Delivered entirely live by qualified teachers, the curriculum includes core subjects alongside PSHE, wellbeing and oracy. Schools can choose from morning or afternoon sessions, five days a week. 3 CALM, SECURE LEARNING For many children, the bustle of traditional classrooms can feel overwhelming, triggering anxiety and dysregulation. Online AP reduces some of these pressures, while keeping students connected to learning. At Academy21, children can join their class teacher in their live lessons from a calmer setting that allows them to focus. The KS2 provision is ideal for internal AP settings. The consistent, lower-stress online experience makes a significant difference in helping children enjoy learning, whilst also benefiting from the in-person support from their school community. 4 HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT Academy21 recognises the importance of developing the whole child, not just the academic learner. Writing lessons naturally combine with PSHE content, turn-taking, circle time and teamwork. Alongside the development of their writing, pupils join in with modelled and shared writing experiences and share their ideas with others. The maths curriculum is centred around engaging tasks that encourage sharing, movement and confidence in key areas of the national curriculum, and the reading provision equips pupils with skills needed for fluency, comprehension and inference and encourages dialogue about wellbeing, current affairs and values. 5 STRONG SUPPORT Ultimately, alternative provision aims to guide children back to thriving in a mainstream environment. That means academic learning, confidence, self-belief, and readiness to return. Academy21 combines strong academic foundations with a focus on wellbeing, helping pupils build skills and routines. Regular communication, reporting, and real-time engagement data keep schools informed and in control so that reintegration planning can be responsive and effective. And when children are ready to return to their mainstream classroom, the transition is smoother because they’ve remained connected to their school community. KEY POINTS Live adaptive teaching with experienced, qualified teachers develops functional reading, writing and maths with oracy, wellbeing and PSHE interwoven throughout.
