Parent considerations
At the time of review, we did not identify any verified/trusted reviews, so we are unable to create an overview. But they were noted to self-promote on some frequently used forums by parents. Please also note that this school has a 'camera-on policy' which may not be suitable for all learners as it requires students to keep their cameras on in every lesson. However, as with any online school, families may wish to ask about:
-
Exam centre arrangements
-
SEND support availability
-
Lesson timings for your time zone
-
Social and extracurricular opportunities
-
Technology requirements
-
Subject availability for specific year groups
