A21 is an internet-based education provider that does not have any physical locations for learners to attend. Learners remain on the roll of their school, or the Local Authority and they retain responsibility for delivering the full-time statutory education offer and all other duties in respect of the learner.
The provision can be delivered anywhere that has access to a laptop or computer and a suitable broadband connection. This can be a dedicated room within the learner’s school, the learner's home, or another approved centre e.g., a library. It is the responsibility of the commissioning team to perform a thorough risk assessment of the site where the learner will be accessing the provision before the support commences. We are available to provide input on any aspects of the risk assessment that require our support.

We accept referrals throughout the academic year from Schools, Education Organizations, and Local Authorities. Our efficient online referral form guarantees a swift conclusion of the referral process, typically within two working days.
On referral, we ask the key stakeholders to share background information, including but not limited to existing assessment data, attendance data, and professional reports. This information is used to create a personalised curriculum and timetable to suit the learner’s individual needs with the aim of delivering the “Right Support, Right Place, Right Time” provision.
