Highgrove Online School

Our approach to teaching and learning is completely different to that of a traditional school. We teach using a flipped learning approach.  Our pupils develop an understanding of subject content independently by working through high-quality interactive self-study materials. Our teachers have full visibility of our pupils’ progress through their self-study courses and hold two live lessons per subject per week in which they support pupils to apply what they have learnt, targeting the areas of curriculum pupils have found challenging. Our small classes of up to 12 pupils at GCSE and 10 at A level allow fully interactive lessons, with a focus on application of knowledge to solving problems and exam questions. Our approach to learning frees up time for our teachers to give individual support to pupils when they need it. This one-to-one provision sets us apart from other schools and helps us provide individualised learning programmes where each pupil gets the amount of time and support they need.
