We would love to hear from you.

What does a timetable look like for one of your students?

The timetable your child will follow depends on a number of factors, such as: Year group, foundation subjects, nurture classes.

There are 2 examples of current timetables below. The first is a Core Provision timetable for a year 7 student and the second is for a year 10 student who takes a couple of additional foundation subjects and receives some mentoring with us.

In short, we can mould the timetable around your Child's needs.

How does my child access the lessons?

We run our sessions on our very own online classrooms. Our classrooms are hosted by an American company called Kaltura. When we send you your child's timetable, below it will be a series of room links, you then simply click and access the lessons.

Sometimes, we also use a platform called Miro alongside the online classroom. The students should always access the online lesson first, we will then post a link on the room chat for them to join us on our Miro board.

What is Miro and why do you use it?

Miro is an interactive and immersive platform. We use Miro to create work spaces for our students. This then allows then to work directly online and for our teachers to see what they are doing in real time. This is an incredibly useful tool and it allows us to support children in real time.

The core provision only provides 6 hours of lessons per week. Is that enough? Should my child do other things?

We have designed the Core Provision Service to be accessible for all families and as budget friendly as possible. There are no distractions in our lessons, students do interact well with teachers and we have a wide range of tools at our disposal to ensure that they understand before we move on. In actual fact, we find that we can cover almost twice as much in an hour session that a typical school can.

We recommend that all children supplement their live lessons with us by spending around 3 hours of additional time per subject consolidating knowledge and mastering new skills. We have a wide range of learning materials to support your child in doing this and we also provide access to our online educake platform - upon which we set weekly homework tasks.

My child is in year 11, can they sit their exams with you?

In short, no. We are not an exam centre and do not offer an exam entry or sitting solution, but we can help you get ready.

We will be able to advise you on how to register with the exam boards and find a registered centre nearby.

"Couldn't recommend Success Academies more.

Success Academies and their Director Emlyn have been amazing to my son. He has hardly been to school for the last year due to medical issues, this is the first proper education he has had in this time, and he is loving it.
He was engaged in class from the off, he looks forward to lessons, and the anxiety he has around his medical issues is not even a thought with online classes compared to physical school.
Emlyn’s communication, updates and reassurances are amazing, and his support and understanding of our circumstance even more so.
As much as I would like for my son to be back in school, it is a huge weight off our shoulders that we have now found the right learning service to support him.
Thank you, Emlyn and all your staff at Success Academies."

"If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I decided to have my 14 year old daughter home-schooled due to extreme bullying in her school, and chose Success Academies. I'm so glad I decided to go with them! The teachers are so lovely and encouraging, and my daughter is really enjoying her lessons! She's about to complete her 2nd week and actually looks forward to logging on! Big shout out to Emlyn who was so helpful with the enrolment process. He is quick to respond to any questions or queries I have, and checks in with the parents of the "newbies". I wish I had done this sooner! The software packages they use are amazing and I love that I can now watch my daughter work and thrive in her lessons! Super value for money, with extra tuition/revision sessions available at a very reasonable price. They take great pride in providing an excellent education to their kids and don't need to charge thousands of pounds for the privilege! I was very skeptical at first, but my skepticism left me the first day my daughter logged on!! I would highly recommend Success Academies. No doubt."

"A game changer for home education

I removed my grandson from school following episodes of bullying. I struggled through home educating for several months with little success. Having looked into several online schools and having trials with them I eventually settled with success academies. They were my grandsons choice as he favoured the teachers with this school. This school has been a game changer for us, my grandson is now eager to get himself online ready for class, i have not had a single battle with him to attend for the classes. He is now engaging in the classroom whereas he always got over looked in school. Emlyn and the team are always on hand to ensure the children are settled and happy. The cost of the tuition is extremely reasonable and the more classes you take the lower the price. We are throughly happy with the decision to home educate and have Success academies provide the courses which my grandson wants to study. The school has really helped my grandson come out of his shell and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for online provision."

JC, East Sussex

“Success Academies provided my daughter with GCSE combined Science. This could have been a real struggle as it was content that would have been over 2 years if in school but it was managed in less than a year with 3 hourly sessions a week. My daughter has ADHD and social anxiety and has been out of school for all of year 11. Success Academies were able to secure a fantastic learning experience each session, gaining my daughter’s trust and confidence ( even with my daughter preferring to have the camera off)As a parent I felt completely confident and satisfied that my daughter was receiving all the teaching she required, in a manner that she felt able to ask answer and ask questions without fear of being wrong. I have had excellent email communication each week with Success Academies with feedback. I would throughly recommend this services."

"A valuable and effective service provided by very knowledgable and friendly tutors in a clear and concise way which supports and supplements students own learning. The sessions have been invaluable during GCSE exam time, boosting student confidence and ability in the subject. Highly recommended.”
