National Online School

Supporting our students starts with supporting the team around them 💜

Our staff recently came together from across the country for two Wellbeing Days out in the countryside. As an online school, we don't often get the chance to meet face-to-face, which made these two days even more special. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected and reminded that it's our amazing team that makes National Online School such a special place to learn, work and grow.

🚨 Myth Busting Mondays 🚨

Each week we'll be challenging some of the biggest myths about online education... here's this week's myth 👇

🚫 MYTH: Online schooling doesn't work for anxious students.

✅ The reality? For many young people, online learning can significantly reduce anxiety. Smaller class sizes, familiar surroundings and a calmer learning environment help many students feel more confident, engage in lessons and enjoy learning again. 💜💻

Got a myth you'd like us to bust? DM us and we might feature it next!

No parent should feel like they're navigating their child's education alone. 💜

We know parents and carers can worry that online education means less connection. With National Online School, it's the opposite. We keep families informed, involved and supported through regular communication, webinars, family networking and practical advice, so you're never left wondering how your child is getting on.

When your child joins our school, you become part of the team too!
