Online school

[simplefree]

Any one here has experience or close information about online schools for Y11 or GCSE programmes only?

DD's mental health is not improving, she is capable, wants to achieve and do well, but unable to leave the house. We are receiving a lot of help from different professionals which has been fab but it took some time to get the ball rolling and time is going quicker than her healing.

We are still on the waiting list for psychiatry and meds. Talking therapy has been helpful to a certain degree but she needs stronger intervention.

Also any info on teens doing GCSE's at a later date would be helpful, I am not from this country and was not educated here - yes I know I can google it but I am interested to know from a personal point of view. We are in England.

Please don't be judgemental.

Hi, my DD is a couple of years younger, but we did Net School for a year and had a fantastic experience with them. The GCSE are really impressive. Best of luck, and I hope you get some more in-depth responses soon.

Thank you @Teets I will check it out

Just seen this. Appreciate you may have sorted but thought I’d give my experience in case it helps.

Medical reasons meant my daughter missed a lot of school and local authority referred and paid for online schooling through Academy21. Can search them on Google. Both of us upset at thought of her leaving school (this was half way though year 10) but best decision ever.

They did 4 days of online school. Real teachers and clever interactive format. No images of teacher or pupils but real time messaging that the teachers control. Gave a structure to the day, made the day interesting. Attendance went from 30% to almost 100%.

They did fewer exams but enough to go on to college/uni if wanted (which they did) School allowed her to go to the end of school prom which was nice. Good luck.

kingsinterhigh.co.uk Could be an option but it’s not cheap.

several kids I know who spend a lot of time away from the uk training for their sport use it.

Hi, I only have experience of Minerva Virtual Academy, which was not positive. Although their website looks impressive, the students actually learn mostly through watching youtube videos on their own. Hope this helps.
