Mr P Green - Headteacher
Horizon Education provides a virtual tutoring service to young people via our Google Classroom system with live lessons taught by a teacher. Additionally, students who are enrolled in this provision will receive an in-person weekly face-to-face well-being session. The provision is targeted to support those students who are unable to attend their main registered school regularly. For some of these students the virtual provision will provide sole subject teaching, for other students their education package will include the provision of alternative provision managed and quality assured by the Academy.
