How We Work Net-Teach is an online school, offering individuals, schools and business’ the chance to learn, regardless of your country or postcode. We offer most subjects, and we teach in schools and to home learners through our online classes. We set homework and exams, undertake all marking and reports and even attend parents’ evenings, virtually. The school curriculum delivered is based on the current English/Welsh National Curriculum, for secondary schools. In Year 11/12 and 13, pupils are entered for International or general GCSE/ GCE examinations, enabling them to continue onto higher education or employment. Education delivered in this way has endless benefits, including pupils having the flexibility of logging on from home and the peace of mind of receiving a quality full-time education. Schools can offer a greater range of A level subjects to help retain their students in the sixth form. We also record the lessons, so any absent student can re-screen the session. Missing lessons through long-term sickness can be overcome using our structure, as we merely set up a connection from the student’s home to the timetabled online classes within the school. Our classes are diverse and offer connections with other schools across the world, sessions with industry guest speakers, virtual tours and conference classes, making the most of the digital classroom. Business delivery is designed for specific companies and may include online facilitating as part of the main face-to-face delivery, depending on the requirements. Short courses and training days can be accommodated across the UK and other subjects may be offered as a complete online instruction.

The use of advanced technology means that we offer an efficient and fresh approach to education. Our online school offers an innovative and positive educational experience for all. Our friendly and supportive team, work hard to make sure that you receive the education you require and that the environment used is creative, caring and dynamic. The high quality of our lessons and of the teaching means that pupils not only learn with confidence, but gain new skills along the way. Using social media allows for a more progressive and global approach to education, something that students are already aware of. You are able to take school with you wherever you are; all you need is an Internet connection.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES Our lessons expand studies outside of the classroom, promoting possibilities that only this style of learning can provide. To move away from the confines of a physical classroom can be a really enriching experience and we aim to make it just that. We offer a model of learning that embraces the whole world whilst preserving all that is proven and rich about our traditional style of education. For example, our teachers will complete half-termly reports, set four hours of work a week and attend parents’ evenings, online. Our lessons coordinate to a full colour subject information pack with extra monthly revision sheets. Animations, quizzes and games are placed within our Study Room to enrich and stretch the student further. We take the students on virtual tours, engage with other schools across the world and arrange industry guest speakers to expand the experience and relevance of their chosen subject.
