How We Support You
Direct Partnership Provision for Schools
Eton Academy works directly with mainstream and special schools to deliver high-quality online alternative provision for students who cannot fully access your physical setting.
​
Our DfE OEAS-accredited provision helps you support students at risk of exclusion, manage medical absences, and provide SEND-specialist education—while keeping pupils on your roll and maintaining your safeguarding oversight.
Why Partner With Eton Academy?
DfE OEAS Accredited
We're one of only ten providers nationally to achieve DfE OEAS accreditation—meeting rigorous standards for online alternative provision, safeguarding, and outcomes.
Rapid Enrolment
We can enroll students within 48-72 hours, helping you respond quickly to medical emergencies, exclusion risk, or urgent placement needs.
Flexible Part-Time Packages
2-3 days online, 2-3 days at school—ideal for early intervention, preventing exclusion, or gradual reintegration support.
Safeguarding Partnership
Our Principal serves as Designated Safeguarding Lead and maintains close liaison with your DSL, attending reviews and coordinating around safeguarding plans.
Live, Interactive Teaching
Every lesson is taught live by qualified UK teachers—never pre-recorded. Students engage in real-time, build relationships with teachers, and receive immediate feedback.
Dual Registration Options
Keep pupils on your roll with dual registration arrangements—you maintain the relationship and statutory responsibility while we deliver academic provision.
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.
