Online School
Keys Online School completes our pathway by delivering full‑time, accredited online provision that supports reintegration or onward transition, linking back to earlier stages if intensity needs to reduce.
This is a full-time, structured digital provision suited to learners who require an accredited curriculum but cannot attend a physical school—including some electively home-educated learners.
The Keys Online School offers 25+ hours of education each week and meets all seven Independent School Standards curriculum areas. It is ideal for learners who cannot attend a physical school but require a full, formal educational pathway. These may include learners with EOTAS needs or those affected by EBSA who require a safe, home-based reintroduction to learning with accredited outcomes.
It can also support learners with SEMH needs who require predictability, therapeutic wraparound and reduced environmental pressures.
Learners follow a full timetable with accredited courses, progress tracking, wellbeing integration and optional enrichment or occasional in-person sessions for socialisation or therapy.
Through Keys Online School, learners maintain engagement with a full curriculum and gain qualifications, often building confidence that supports blended or full in-person reintegration.

Admission Process

Parents, carers, or local authorities can contact us to discuss the needs of the child.

This allows us to conduct a thorough assessment to determine if we are the right provision to meet needs.

Once we feel needs can be met, we work closely with all parties to facilitate the placement process. If the Local Authority request the place, this is subject to funding being agreed at a panel meeting.
