Supporting Schools & MAT's
We want young people to thrive in school, but we know that the classroom environment doesn't suit everyone, all of the time. So schools work with us to create alternative learning pathways and give their learners additional online education and SEMH support delivered in a personalised way. So they can eventually, reintegrate into the school community.
Whether there is a diagnosis, or the reason is circumstantial and the learners can't be in a school setting, MAT's and Local Authorities work with us from 6 weeks to multiple academic years as their online Alternative Provision partner.
We offer...
Imagine your own, flexible, online learning partner with classes dedicated to your school or MAT learners in a range of subjects.
Pay termly or annually for the whole timetable of group classes and readymade courses.

Classes: Highly engaging small live online classes. We offer Primary, Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary timetables of 30-minute group classes Monday - Thursday with qualified, consistent educators. Maximum of 12 learners per class.

Our team can create bespoke online courses for your school using your own curriculum or the Cambridge Curriculum as a foundation.
Each learner has their own virtual whiteboard for notetaking. They can access classes and content outside of the timetabled hours and can use the chat, camera, video and communication tools as little or as much as they like.
"A Classroom in a Single Tab"
Imagine an online classroom that's as simple as opening a single tab. This is more than just video and chat. We've created a wholly interactive eco-system designed to keep all learners engaged and interested.
Collaborative whiteboards, integrated multimedia content, chat and video functionality, shared and personal spaces to work. This isn't a lerner sat alone learning in front of a screen, this is bringing a reimagined classroom to their fingertips. We can adjust all settings per classroom per learner to support safeguarding and deliver the best learner experience.
As part of our commitment to being flexible for our students, our classroom is as accessible from home as it is from the top of a mountain (yes, we've tried it!).
Learner feedback after each session
Our system will automatically notify a learners key contact if a student doesn't attend a session. It will also automatically generate and send detailed feedback on each student after every session.
Keeping students safe is our number 1 priority. We have an open door policy for our classrooms, so any educator can access any classroom at any time. Every class is recorded - audio and video and we monitor all engagement, online activity and feedback from the learners and can report on this as required by our school partner.
We've made the joining process quick and easy. We know how difficult it can be when young learners are struggling in school - whether you're a school, local authority or family, when you're looking for support at speed, we're here.
Every learner has a free taster session so we can show them around the virtual classroom and build a plan of support.
Whether it's 1:1 sessions, group classes, courses or a mix of them all - we'll work with you to create a personalised learning plan for your learners.
Visit our Timetables & Fees Page to see costs and buy online or work with our team to build the package and we'll sort payment via invoice.
When you're ready to go our team will allocate you and your learners the classes and educators via our online platform - simply login on our website and we'll see you in the virtual classroom!

A few Case Studies
New Bridge Group
When the leadership team at New Bridge learnt about Gaia Learning they saw the need to support their students with SEMH in a different way.
Our partnership grew to be their virtual school and continues to be a huge hit with their learners.
We deliver GCSE Science, Functional Skills and Maths & English to their cohort of learners across 2 year groups.
Ark Alexandra
14yr old S** has been out of the school system for a few years. As part of a mainstream school with an EHCP S** was struggling to engage with the physical classroom and face to face tuition. The school engaged with Gaia Learning to deliver GCSE’s via 1:1 tuition online.
“I am now hopeful for S’s future and can see the progress he’s making. Every time I read an email from you I can see how much you care, thank you”.
Riverside Education
English, Maths, Science, Functional Skills and Business Studies. Since spring 2022 Gaia Learning have supported this Birmingham AP school to engage the most difficult to reach students.
Whether it’s due to neurodivergence, personal circumstances or SEMH we’ve worked in partnership with the school to support young people through their GCSE’s helping them get onto Apprenticeships and having successes they didn’t think were possible.
How long do students stay with you?
How do you ensure curriculum consistency?
When working with schools learners stay with us on a 6-week commitment basis. We focus on doing the right thing for the learner and so will work with the school to create a programme that delivers a hybrid approach.
We deliver the Cambridge curriculum in our timetabled classes but we can support students in 1:1 or learning groups, specific for your school in a range of subjects and curriculums.
Do you offer Primary?
How many schools are you working with?
Yes we have a timetable running for students aged 8-16 and can offer 1:1 tuition for children as young as 5years old. We also create bespoke curriculum content for KS1 - 4.
It expands weekly working with schools across the UK as their online learning partner. We are part of local authorities alternative provision directories in several regions and have relationships with 10+ schools in the UK and 2 overseas as of September 2024.
How do you work with the Local Authority?
Do you support children who don't have a diagnosis?
We can provide reporting on the learners experience and engagement in line with what the school, family and local authority need. We have all policies, safeguarding and procedures in place to work with local authorities nationwide.
Yes. If the young person can't go into the physical classroom we will support them with 1:1 tuition or group classes.
