Small classes

With a maximum ratio of 9:1, students benefit from focused, personalised teacher support. Smaller groups also create a collaborative and engaging classroom atmosphere.

Tailored lesson plans

Lessons are designed to suit the different learning abilities of students, ensuring everyone progresses at a comfortable pace.

No-camera policy

A no-camera approach during lessons (except for registration and some classes at KS4) creates a pressure-free, comfortable environment, helping students to focus and gain confidence.

Innovative technology

Lessons incorporate a range of interactive tools such as digital whiteboards, quizzes, polls and videos to make learning accessible, enjoyable and effective.

Student support and wellbeing

TLC LIVE Online School equally prioritises its students’ wellbeing and their academic performance.

Learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including anxiety, dyslexia, ASD and BESD, will be fully supported throughout their educational journey with us.

All teachers are trained in SEND practices and our regular one-to-one mentoring sessions help to monitor and support student progress, as well as providing guidance.

TLC LIVE Online School’s SENDCO works closely with parents and carers to set and achieve realistic learning goals. A distinguishing aspect of our programme is “Wellbeing Wednesdays”. Every Wednesday, students are encouraged to take part in physical and creative activities, as well as PSHE and Mentoring sessions.

Prioritising flexibility and accessibility

Our online KS3 courses offer outstanding flexibility, making them ideal for families looking for an adaptable educational model. Students can attend lessons consistently from any location with internet access, taking travel pressures off families.

The UK curriculum is available to students worldwide, making it an excellent option for international learners or families who relocate frequently. An online school is also a good choice for students suffering from emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) or other forms of social anxiety.

All lesson resources are accessible anytime for independent study or revision, helping students develop responsibility and self-discipline without mandatory homework.

A safe, simple and smart learning environment

Our user-friendly lesson content combines seamlessly with the Unicko virtual classroom, with interactive whiteboards, collaboration tools and live screen-sharing to enhance the learning experience.

Students can access lesson resources independently outside of lessons, supporting revision and catch-up. All lessons are monitored and recordings are securely stored for safeguarding purposes, however, they are not available for on-demand viewing.

What you’ll need

In order to access lessons, students will need the following:

  • a stable internet connection
  • a laptop or a desktop computer
  • and a headset with a microphone for optimal audio quality
