Our Values

What we believe

“At the heart of what we do is a genuine, ongoing connection between teacher and student — one built over time, shaped around who that student is, and held with patience. Students don’t feel re-engaged because they have been given the right materials. They feel re-engaged because someone has shown up consistently, taken them seriously, and created a space where they feel like they belong.”

How It Works

Small groups, real structure, online every day

Students join small groups of two or three, matched by level and compatibility. Each day includes a structured hour of English and an hour of Maths, delivered by the same teacher who knows them.

Learn how it works

Transitions

Carefully supported transitions into our framework and later well-managed reintegration once students are ready for their next challenge

Progress

This isn't just academic — it's where the student is emotionally too, finding the right level of challenge for the individual

Structure

Students who have lost that belonging and routine have an opportunity to rebuild a structure founded on learning again

Engagement

Teachers tie the learning into the students' interests and find what motivates the individual

Who We Work With

Commissioned by local authorities

Ember Learning works alongside local authorities to provide structured, consistent alternative provision under Section 19 of the Education Act 1996. We deliver Maths and English tuition for KS2, KS3 and KS4 students who are unable to access mainstream schooling.

We operate in alignment with the DfE's August 2025 voluntary national standards for non-school alternative provision.
