A named practitioner throughout
One consistent person who builds the relationship, co-ordinates with qualified teachers, and stays with your young person from the first session. A mentor, not a supply teacher.
What is Nudge Education Online?

Structure
Qualifications
Small groups
Visibility
Safeguarding
A structured online school from the team behind Nudge Education.
Nudge Education already supports young people across Local Authorities throughout the UK with a practitioner-led, relational model. Nudge Education Online wraps a structured online curriculum around that same approach — so learners get both the relationship and the qualifications.
Four days of live lessons
Monday to Thursday: four 45-minute live sessions via Google Meet, with scheduled breaks. Friday is Cornerstones Day — Relational Intelligence, Digital Skills, RSHE, SDG projects and creative work.
Qualifications that fit
Pearson Edexcel International GCSEs with modular assessment, plus Functional Skills and ASDAN courses where appropriate. A Discovery Phase for learners who aren't yet ready for formal qualifications.
Small groups, big impact
Live sessions are deliberately small so every learner is seen, heard and known — not lost in a virtual classroom.
Progress you can see
Commissioners and families get real-time visibility on attendance, engagement and progress — updated after every session, not once a term.
KCSIE 2025-compliant
Designated safeguarding lead, clear escalation routes, session-level logging. All policies published and available.
Who it's for
Young people aged 11–18 who aren't in school.
Nudge Education Online is for learners who find mainstream education inaccessible, unsafe or unsuitable — including those experiencing emotionally based school non-attendance, anxiety, medical conditions, unmet SEND needs, or complex home circumstances.
Learners don't need an EHCP to attend. We accept commissioned referrals from Local Authorities, placements through existing frameworks, or direct family applications.
At launch
What you need to know.
Nudge Education Online launches in September 2026 as an online alternative provision for learners aged 11–18. Our first intakes are a Year 9 and a Year 10 cohort only — further year groups open progressively as the provision grows. We are taking steps to complete the voluntary Ofsted accreditation to be recognised by the DfE as an online school.
At launch, Nudge Education Online cannot be named on an EHCP. The legal arrangement and statutory responsibility for a young person stays with the Local Authority and their school. We work closely alongside both.
The Cornerstones
Woven into every session.
Our pedagogical framework. Not a list of values — a way of designing each day so that wellbeing and learning sit together, not one after the other.

For commissioners
Procurement-ready from day one.
Nudge Education is already a trusted partner to Local Authorities across the UK. Nudge Education Online extends that relationship with a structured online offer — KCSIE 2025-compliant, with real-time progress tracking and a named partnership lead for every commissioning authority.

- Procurement-ready from day one — request pricing for your context.
- Real-time visibility on attendance, engagement and progress — updated after every session.
- A named partnership lead from referral through placement and beyond.
- Onward-placement conversations built in from day one.
- No EHCP required. Commissioned referrals or existing frameworks accepted.
