How We Support You
Trust-Wide Partnership Provision
Eton Academy works in partnership with multi-academy trusts across England to deliver high-quality online alternative provision that serves all schools within your trust.
​
Our DfE OEAS-accredited provision provides a centralized solution—one partnership, consistent quality, strategic oversight—helping you support vulnerable learners across your entire trust efficiently and effectively.
Why Partner With Eton Academy?
Rapid Response Across All Schools
We can enroll students within 48-72 hours from any school in your trust, helping you meet 6th day obligations and respond to urgent placement needs.
Trust-Level Oversight
Strategic reporting showing all placements, outcomes, and spend across the trust—giving you visibility and control you've never had before.
Live, Interactive Teaching
Every lesson is taught live —never pre-recorded. Students engage in real-time, build relationships with teachers, and receive immediate feedback.
DfE OEAS Accredited
We're one of only ten providers nationally to achieve DfE OEAS accreditation—meeting rigorous standards for online alternative provision, safeguarding & outcomes.
Centralised Partnership Management
One contract serving all your schools. One dedicated trust partnerships manager. Simplified procurement and consistent quality across your entire trust.
Safeguarding Partnership
Our Principal serves as Designated Safeguarding Lead and maintains close liaison with school DSLs, attending reviews and coordinating around safeguarding plans.
Full Key Stage Coverage
We provide provision from KS2 through KS4, including GCSE pathways. Few online AP providers cover primary—we do, supporting early intervention for younger pupils.
Specialist Alternative Provision Expertise
Our teachers are trained in trauma-informed practice, SEND support, and working with students who have experienced exclusion, anxiety, and complex needs. This isn't mainstream teaching delivered online—it's specialist AP practice.

Safeguarding Coordination
Immediate concern reporting to school DSLs, multi-agency meeting attendance, and coordination around safeguarding plans. Schools retain statutory responsibility; we support.

Start with 2-3 schools to pilot the model before trust-wide rollout. We're happy to prove value before scaling.
